    Also I don’t think KDE even uses more RAM than other DEs that are designed to be lightweight. Last time I compared, it used the same or less memory as LXDE.

    Firefox without any website loaded uses more RAM than a full Plasma session.

      The difference being that in the one of those cases you still need to open a browser instance before you are able to browse the web.

        Firefox is absolutely unusable on that PC. Falkon runs much better.
