How do you check what is eating up all your memory/cpu?

Just download more, simple.

My computer just works so I've never needed to check, but I run XFCE & have xfce4-taskmanager installed, so I could use that if I ever needed....

Ah, I see. I use htop as a task manager.

To get a comprehensive overview of your system's resource usage, install and run the btop command. It's a top-like interactive system monitor that displays a range of system information, including:

-CPU usage (per core and overall)
-RAM usage (free, used, and cached)
-Disk usage (per disk and overall)
-Network usage (bytes sent and received)
-Process list (with CPU, RAM, and disk usage per process)
-System temperature
-Uptime
