Desktop environment Ram consumption: Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, Mate, LXDE, LXQT
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!

Fizz, I want me de using ram to make everything smoother and load faster. Ram is there to be used.
Riktastic, Still faster than Windows :)
I didn’t know that KDE and Xfce are that close to each other. I really KDE on my daily driver, at first I wouldn’t run it on a server, but now it seems to be a perfectly viable option.
20gramsWrench, 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
peeonyou, Having a reddit tab open in ff on windows for longer lengths of time turns into a memory-slugfest.
sasalzig, What are these numbers exactly and why are there two of them?
onlooker, Oooh, geeky graphs about Linux. This piques my interest. GNOME is still a memory hog, I see. I never would've guessed KDE is an even bigger one, though.
Can I request just one more addition? Namely, XFCE, my desktop environment of choice.
