I brought my KDE idle RAM usage down to 500MB just by using the GUI options that come with it. That's about the same amount a default Xfce or LXQt needs.

    Damn can you list some of the options you remember changing?

    I disabled all animations, the baloo file indexing and all services that start automatically at login.
    I also installed not the full KDE Suite but just Plasma Desktop and then uninstalled all parts I don't need.
    So technically, I'm not running KDE but Plasma. From the KDE application Suite I use Dolphin, Konsole, the archiver, the image viewer, the PDF viewer and the system settings tool.
