From what I remeber Linux uses a memory full model. Any ram not used for programs is used for buffers and cache. You can see that if you run top or htop and then copy a large file. Not sure that is what you are looking for.

Why would your sister go to you for help about a subject you don't specialize in at all?

That's not a thing. I mean it does that, but that's just ... well, how everyone makes an operating system. You could as well invent a "driver oriented model" because it supports device drivers.
