I remember running Xubuntu (XFCE) and Lubuntu (LXDE, before LXQt) on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM and it was a pretty pleasant experience! My guess is that the desktop environment is the culprit for most modern distros! | ||

Gnome 50 and its auxilliary services on my machine uses maybe 400MB. The culprit is browsers, mostly. | ||
