Over usage of ram

[Itay113]

Hey everyone, I've installed OpenCore catallina hackintosh about 4 months ago and since I having over usage of ram (I am talking about 1 gb left for usage) so I thought I need to upgrade the ram, so that what I did, I upgraded from 8 gb of ram to 16 gb but still, and its the same problem, I am seeing that I have left about 1 gb left, I tried to use 3rd party softwares to clear some memory but after some time (about 3 hours, depends of my usage) I tried CleanMyMac and Parallels Toolbox both showed the same and cleared the same.
Btw, I don't use Chrome, I use Brave or Opera browsers
What should I do?

look in Activity Monitor -> Memory to see what is using the most

Try closing the Brave browser and see what happens.

Try closing the Brave browser and see what happens.

it certainly has quite a few entries!

obviously kill the glaring one that is highlighted in red, and looking at your image, don't you have 10gb free?

tried to kill the red one but in this case there wasn't any change, and about the free ram, its correct but still, some times its going down very fast and I don't understand why..
