Zygmunt KrynickiSeveral reboots later, I'm running plasma on Fedora 40, with gnome bits removed. Everything is really weird, but the system needs only two gigs of memory after booting to the desktop. That is nice!
Leaflet@zygoon That’s about the same as Gnome when Gnome Software isn’t running. That consistently uses 300-800MB.
Pawel Turlejski@that_leaflet @zygoon sounds a bit high to me. With a couple of plasmoids and some extra services running I'm at 1.6 after a reboot. Regardless, I think KDE has been less memore hungry than Gnome for a while now.
Till Kamppeter@till I thing this is my unfamiliarity speaking. Kfoo naming scheme is somewhat dense when you have no idea what the program does up front.
toscalix@zygoon there are a few easy things you can do to reduce consumption. Indexing is one although with large number of file is a great feature. The other one is akonadi, if you do not use KDE PIM apps
@zygoon remember that KDE is extremely configurable. You can add many of the tricks you are used to with GNOME
