Compare it to reports of current Gnome using 1,000MB or more. It amuses me when I read about KDE being bloated as that is history. On the same machine in a fairly fresh Stretch install with KDE Plasma 5.12.7 from NeptuneOS, it boots to about 355MB RAM which is almost the same as MX with Xfce uses. System was installed a couple of years ago and used to boot to ~400MB but I've added a few startups like Conky and KDEConnect. It boots to ~497MB but the terminal to run free takes 30 something MB.

Bare-metal Debian 9.7 64bit netinstall, with openbox 3.6.1-4, memory at bootup = 117mbs-ram free -m, whereas ps_mem says 120.4mbs - 25.8 (for the pesky terminal again.) comes out to 94.6mbs. Note: Though ps_mem also tells me the terminal I'm using to run these commands in is using 17mbs of that, so it's 103.8 - 17 = 86.8mbs. Bare-metal Debian 9.8 32bit netinstall, openbox v 3.6.1-4, memory at bootup = 85mbs-ram according to the free -m command. Since this my hair brained thread, only right I should start. Though if so inclined share your systems uptime too. * Finally at bootup/start up memory stats (ie: via the "free -m" command, ps_mem etc) ? Also realise some nixers would rather swallow their tongue than reboot, so if that's you, how about just shutting everything but the bare minimum down for this. * Which desktop environment(s) or windows manager(s) and the version numbers are involved ? * Just to be anal is the install VM-virtual machine or bare metal (installed on a disk)? * The operating system(s) used and version thereof + 32 or 64bit, Debian, Arch, Bunsenlabs gnu/Linux etc ? If you so desire provide the following information/stats: So if anybody feels like sharing their stats, this thread is as good a place as any eh ? Some ground rules to keep it fair to everyone. There's been a tad bit of which OS/distro and what desktop environment vs windows managers use what, how much RAM, going around the forums.
