Wow, that's very low. I made a live usb of MX XFCE and one of Fluxbox. Running off the usb XFCE was using around 675mb and Fluxbox seeing 450. I then also tried Linux Mint Cinnamon and it was running at 745mb idle.

Fluxbox was a like too bare bones for me, XFCE was nice but Cinnamon is even nicer so for just an extra 200mb I went with Cinnamon. It's using less than half of what Ubuntu does and gives me everything I need.

But I think I'll run MX in a KVM VM just to use it, get used to it and see whether I might prefer it long term. I like that it uses less systemd.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
