How much is your page being used? That’s a more real indicator. You should want all of your ram to be used.

When it's being used, stuff gets slower - so yes, I technically use it as an indicator, by noticing that my machine is slow because it's out of free ram

No. No I can play games on Linux without capping my 16.

Edit: yes I checked page file use, dip-ass. Not counting GPU ram.
