How to improve RAM memory usage

Hello, i've got a Laptop with a i7 8thgen and 8gb of RAM memory, it's pretty good on Windows and Mint, i can open lots of tabs on Chrome and different softwares and it doesn't freeze.

I've recently installed Arch, and installed everything i need on my Laptop.

However, there's something using too much memory, and i don't know how to monitorate that, i tried to use KSysGuard, but it doesn't show me  what's consuming my RAM.

Frequently my screen freezes and "free -h" returns  that i have less than 200mb of RAM left, and SWAP full.

I guess i should have reserved more space to SWAP, i've only reserved 2GB. Even so, my Windows doesn't use so much RAM, is there another software i can use to monitorate my system and see what's using my RAM?

Thanks
