Make it possible to enter RAM value instead of using slider

[jdaviescoates]

I find the sliders for allocating RAM to apps/ servers a bit too annoying to use. It's often really quite hard to get the value I want.

I would much prefer to simply be able to enter a number into a field.

Please could we have this option in addition to the existing sliders?

Thanks!

Given how memory management on Linux works, this limit is merely a rough setting on the limit, it makes no sense on Linux to rely on explicit numbers there but it is more about the ballpark to get right. The value should not convey false correctness and the stop gaps on the slider are just for neatness on the value.

@nebulon OK, I don't fully follow you, but right now getting the right ballpark figures is too hard using the sliders.

If you can't/ wont add a field we can just type into perhaps add little up/down arrows or something to enable nudging the value up/down in tiny increments?
