| Nov 21, 2020 at 9:38 | comment | added | gaoithe | yes, linuxatemyram.com explains it. Available memory is free memory + disk cache memory (which can be released by kernel immediately when needed). | |

| Aug 21, 2020 at 22:15 | comment | added | Simon Forsberg | Yeah I also don't get it... How is the free memory different from available? Apparently free is a subset of available, but.... what? How? Why? More questions than answers. | |

@srinivas, available does include free column + a part of buff/cache which can be reused for current needs immediately
