Question in topic:
"How can I set up Postgres to use given amount of RAM?"
I have now laptop with 8GB of RAM, i can see Linux uses no more than 2-3GB.
So my question is how to FORCE PostgreSQL
use let's say 2-4Ghow to B of RAM for caching tables I run queries on?
As I can see disk actity running queries.

I would try docker with --memory option. An alternative is to create a VM with the given amount of memory. If your laptop is memory starved, then creating a VM is probably not an option. Docker is much cheaper. Dockerfile is relatively simple to master and you can use Docker to run almost anything.
