    Any suggestion or tips to reduce RAM usage on Lubuntu? Having looked into a few distros, I have decided to make Lubuntu my daily driver. Seems it will pull around 1GB on idle after default installation. Wanna reduce it to under 500MB. Any ideas?

    Don't use desktop environment......

    Well, apart from that, cause, I plan to make it my daily driver.

    I use xubuntu. It is light weight, and also easy to customize to look like modern.

    Btw, why do you care about the RAM usage by DE? as you are currently using Win 11? Any light distro uses much less RAM than Windows.

    That is true. Coming from Windows 11, the RAM consumption will be much better on any Linux distro. I was just curious if something could be done out of the box to reduce RAM consumption further.

    For primary desktop usage, my primary suggestion is your focus should be on features and driver support of distro and DE. Like how is the performance for daily tasks, look and feel and customization of desktop environment etc.

    After sometime you forget about the RAM usage, but you care more about user experience. IMO.

    That is true. I am gonna just go with Lubuntu and think about customisation later, if the need arises.

    I agree with the comment that window managers are more lightweight than DEs, part of why I switched to one, max ram for os and default processes on my rice/setup is 400mb ram, and has all the nice things sans a taskbar

    Any suggestion or tips to reduce RAM usage on Lubuntu? Having looked into a few distros, I have decided to make Lubuntu my daily driver. Seems it will pull around 1GB on idle after default installation. Wanna reduce it to under 500MB. Any ideas?

    Don't use desktop environment......

    Well, apart from that, cause, I plan to make it my daily driver.

    I use xubuntu. It is light weight, and also easy to customize to look like modern.

    Btw, why do you care about the RAM usage by DE? as you are currently using Win 11? Any light distro uses much less RAM than Windows.

    That is true. Coming from Windows 11, the RAM consumption will be much better on any Linux distro. I was just curious if something could be done out of the box to reduce RAM consumption further.

    For primary desktop usage, my primary suggestion is your focus should be on features and driver support of distro and DE. Like how is the performance for daily tasks, look and feel and customization of desktop environment etc.

    After sometime you forget about the RAM usage, but you care more about user experience. IMO.

    That is true. I am gonna just go with Lubuntu and think about customisation later, if the need arises.

    You like Lubuntu? it looks somewhat old for my taste.

    I agree with the comment that window managers are more lightweight than DEs, part of why I switched to one, max ram for os and default processes on my rice/setup is 400mb ram, and has all the nice things sans a taskbar


    It's fine... i guess...

    Ah you are running this on a server?

    my main PC...

    SHEEESH, Thats a extra beefy PC XD

    Thinking of adding a nvme raid card from Asus with a couple of kc3000.

    I can say

    works nicely if your CPU supports using all slots (bifurcation or something like that). My main gaming PC only supported 3 of the slot but I installed it into my headless linux box and it works perfectly.
