Low on memory message

What causes a low on memory message? I'm on a Mac mini with 8 gigs Ram and the M1 processor, and the message keeps popping up in the middle of my screen when I only have Safari, Finder, Activity Monitor and Music open, but not really doing anything on them. Even if I shut down everything except Finder and Safari, I still get the message.

That low on memory message is most likely coming from low Disk space and not the RAM.
