Linux also uses a lot of ram for disk caching, it's flagged as a form of available memory so there's no performance overheard for this.

    Disk caching is almost never included in the ram usage numbers. Or if it is it's specified as caching, but still not factored into the number.

    Huh TIL, had a look through my system and it sits at about ~5GB not including disk cache. Been on Fedora KDE since 39 and have put it through its paces so I'm pretty happy with that

    I would've reformatted windows twice in that time because of bloat accumulation, and like you said there's always room for improvement with hyper minimalist packages.

    God I love Linux.
