The issue appears to be hardware-related, likely resolved. Xfce [Taskmanager] and Gnome [System Monitor] match Windows (32GB in GiB values). The output from "sudo dmidecode --type 17" was retrieved from a previous interaction with chatGPT. The fix involved using an Apsara eraser on my slotable items. This method seems to have worked, possibly inspired by a similar post online.
