It’s not about the ram it’s about having to read so much source code and deal with the churn.

Shocked to not see 9front on there.

maybe don't merge plasma-meta moron
gentoo desktop profile can pull in some things one may not be interested in, but thats what default is for.
when i start my system like maybe 14 processes run plus or minus 2 and half of that is agetty, add maybe 10 more for startx/xinit, dbus, wm, and pipewire/wireplumber

you can even cut out logind if you merge xorg-server with suid, albeit with security implications
