Did you need to make any changes to get it to 200mb? If I can get it to that point, I would switch from Ubuntu. (Ubuntu takes about 750mb~ starting) Every time

Every time I've tried KDE recently, the starting RAM usage is closer to 800-900mb and it anecdotally felt laggier than Unity. (I tried KDE Neon)
- bittermang 9y agoNot that I'm aware of. I'll typically start with Ubuntu Server and add a DE to it, but this time I did a clean Kubuntu install. I'm looking at my resource monitor right now and it's been sitting around 200 all day for Plasma. Perhaps if you add up all the rest of the KDE background services like KDE Connect, klauncher, etc, you'll have a grand total above 300. But I have the hardware, so I don't mind.
