The fresh install of Manjaro KDE on my laptop is using 2.6gb on a fresh boot right out of the box.
I forget what distro it was (maybe neon?) that was using like 3.X gigs of ram on a fresh install. That was the point that I realized this wasn't the Linux of old.
For shits and giggles I just tested out Ubuntu 25.04 and it's only 1.3 gigs with it's stock Ubuntuified de.
For as much shit as Ubuntu gets it's really not that bad compared to some of the others.
It probably was Neon. I switched recently and (for me) it's more resource hungry than Kubuntu, even.
