Re: Memory Use (FWIW)
It would probably be better for you to simply list those limited results here in plain text.

Re: Memory Use (FWIW)
Not sure the original post, but Debian 11 and now Debian 12, both with Gnome - have efficient use of RAM.
Currently I have Google Chrome open with 4 tabs up and Firefox open with 4 tabs up - RAM use is 3GB of 8GB, 37%.
Likewise, I have had no issue using GIMP to work on photos or Libre Office or any of the suite of application in Google Chrome. Fast responsive applications and efficient use of RAM

Re: Memory Use (FWIW)
Shame the OP has been deleted but I was bored so I used this QEMU command to test the various Debian 12.1 amd64 live ISO images (using VirGL for "hardware" rendering):
Scrots for the curious (click on them to see a full size version):
Results, as measured by htop:
Cinnamon: 925M
GNOME: 891M
KDE/Plasma: 768M
LXQt: 538M
MATE: 514M
Xfce: 501M
LXDE: 453M
All measurements were taken after running `apt update && apt install -y htop` and leaving the system for ~5 minutes for it to "settle".
Also threw in a deadbang scrot for some shameless self-promotion. Looks like there is some room at the bottom
Code: Select all
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -cpu host -audiodev alsa,id=alsa -device intel-hda -display sdl,gl=on -device virtio-vga-gl -boot d -cdrom $name_of_iso.img

A couple points.
1. The reason LXDE just wont die is clear. It is the lightest mainstream DE
2. Why is deadbang so fat Switch to a lighter setup and you'll knock around a 100MB off that figure without trying

Re: Memory Use (FWIW)
I can get ~50MiB off by stripping out NetworkManager, GVFS & PulseAudio but that's about the limit for openbox/tint2. I'm tempted to try sysvinit or OpenRC but that's for another thread...
