The host is Archlinux with virt-manager. Desktop environments are Fedora spins. Virtual machines are given 5.7 GB. If you want any other test to be run let me know!
I wish there was a better way to judge the lightness of full desktop environements than just ram consumption, because speed and smoothness can vary greatly regardless of ram, so we know whether of not it runs well on shitty laptop, lxqt being no faster than xfce in my experience is pretty telling of that
I could live with my DE using 4GB if the responsiveness was that of a year 2000 PC running Windows 98
Love kde, but it needs to get that bloat down. Still snappy though.
I want me de using ram to make everything smoother and load faster. Ram is there to be used.
I’ve been on KDE for a while now. Doesn’t feel as heavy as I guess it is. That said, if you want Wayland you’re kinda stuck with GNOME or KDE (if you want something traditional). I’ve been enjoying KDE since the switch, though. I’m hoping it’ll get more resources from Valve.
