Idk about little. I was playing around with an old laptop dual booting Fedora KDE and W11. And Fedora on fresh boot was using the same/more ram than 11.
That seems odd. I’m on fedora KDE and from memory (excuse the pun) I sit at about 1.7GB usage at startup, and that’s with a few autostarted apps like joplin and pcloud. I don’t think I’ve seen Windows 11 that low ever, though I’ve hardly ever booted into it in the last 2 years.

Windows compresses RAM these days, not sure if Fedora does by default. Also, by itself Windows is surprisingly RAM efficient. I think it’s a holdover from Windows 8 which was developed for tablets when Microsoft tried competing with iPads.
The problems arise when web views like the news widget load. Then all the past optimizations no longer matter.
It’s astonishing how little RAM KDE needs for its features.
my ram usage with no apps open is 12 to 15 gigs. ultranarine kde

Nobody here was talking about PedOS until you brought it up Comrade
