ist okay, ich freu mich trotzdem

• I have two machines:
  • one with arch and KDE (installed with pacman -S kde)
  • one with asahi fedora spin (installed with curl https://alx.sh/ | sh and chose the KDE spin)
• after booting and changing to another TTY with ctrl-alt-f4 and loging in I see vastly different memory usages:
  • arch: 600MB
  • asahi: 1900MB
• On arch I use sddm and on asahi kde plasma-login-manager
• Do you have any ideas why the difference in RAM usage is so stark and how I could further investigate?
• PS.: Normally I wouldn’t care about this memory footprint but the asahi hardware only has 8GB of RAM and I had to increase swappiness from 60 to 70 to run thunderbird + firefox + some electron apps.
