I guess they are similar to what IceWM shows.

IceWM takes less than 20MB of RAM - it represent Windows 98 quite well. Full featured DEs offer features far exceeding what Windows 98 had: applets, advanced window management, 24bit graphics (Windows 98 icons were mostly 8bit) + transparen

I did _not_ just run `free` after boot, maybe you need to reread the methodology. As for RAM leaking - I cannot and I will not account for that: such a test could take weeks to carry out. In my experience modern Linux DEs do not leak that m

I've used these settings with four different Intel iGPUs and a single AMD GPU, and I've not experienced "terrible latency and stutter". Your report is not widely shared on the Internet either. Arch Wiki, unix.stackexchan

It's far from purely technical. Wayland destroys backward compatibility, destroys everything we knew about the graphics subsystem, offers to work with graphics in a different totally new way which results in a ton of concessions. A lot

I haven't had screen tearing under X.org for more than a decade. Both under NVIDIA and Intel. A nice made-up issue but it's made up.

Nearly 99% of Linux software is linked to glibc. What the f are you talking about? This is not MSVCRT by a long shot.

Web Archive has most of the revisions. There are changes but far and between. Overall issues get mostly added (for instance a large chunk of Wayland ones), sometimes I remove stuff when it gets resolved but it's quite a rare occurrence

The way Samba "integrates" with /etc/{passwd|groups} is horrible/asinine/and broken. It's a completely alien to Linux daemon.
