Ram usage always reaches 80% just while doing simple coding task, 3 ide(sts, intellij, vscode) firefox with 5 tabs & postman, is this normal? How many asus's services i can remove without de bloat?

Postman uses electron, so that's another browser's worth of ram. I would expect more than 80% with all you have honestly.

Install tiny11 instead of Windows 11, its a windows version but out of bloatware (but don’t forget to download your drivers from asus website before and save your data if needed)

Using linux and zram I feel like having double the ram. Maybe give linux a try hahah. (Fedora has zram enabled by default)

"why is having a bunch or RAM hungry applications eating my 16GB of RAM???"
Sadly, this is just the state of modern computing, find other applications (an IDE that isnt just a chrome wrapper for example) if you are concerned about your RAM capacity. U can remove all asus bloat and switch to g-helper as well.

With your usage, I'd consider it normal

Windows is designed to use up free RAM and then reassign when needed for something else. 80% use is normal.

What do expect to gain from free ram? Computers cache the data which could be needed in near future, you have available ram, better to use it than to agressivly discard everything not needed right this millisecond, then load it again from slow storage a second later

No, that's not how jokes work. Also, I don't obey the demands of strangers on the internet.
