It’s not always a provider issue. In most cases, it comes down to how Linux allocates resources and how system tools report them. Here’s why:
- Memory: The kernel + firmware reserve a slice. Tools also report in MiB/GiB, not MB/GB.
- Disk: Some space goes to system partitions + unit conversions.
In short: what you see is expected. Nothing “missing” – just Linux doing its thing.
