    Also I don’t think KDE even uses more RAM than other DEs that are designed to be lightweight. Last time I compared, it used the same or less memory as LXDE.

    Firefox without any website loaded uses more RAM than a full Plasma session.

      And KDE can be even more efficient if you go into the settings and tweak things a bit, turning off some unnecessary features that are on by default.
