[graysky2]

Recently, free RAM shows up as a negative number.

free was updated, breaking the lines calculating free RAM.
Since free now has a column for free memory anyway there is no reason to calculate it in archey.
I'll submit a pull request fixing it

Eugh yeah hmm yeah. Feel free to submit a PR (though I may seem inactive, I do follow the archey AUR thread), otherwise I'll take a look at it tomorrow (Don't have an arch install handy atm, and cba to find a docker image)

[rski]

Sorry - I was wrong
It was just that free now already subtracts the buff/cache from the used column, so archey can now use directly the used column without any extra calculations

[lclarkmichalek]

Well if that fixes it, submit me a pull request and I'll be happy to merge :)

[rski]

there should be a pull request for this

Bumping this, We are still waiting for a merge

[lclarkmichalek]

Merged, reopen if still broken
