Phoronix: KDE Plasma 5.18 Seeing More Last Minute Work To Make It One Of Their Best Releases Ever This past week KDE Plasma 5.18 reached beta for this next long-term support release of the modern KDE desktop. While it's approaching the finish line next month, developers have not let up on more improvements in making this one
I believe that's why gnome used less ram than xfce, more native apps.
The difference was pretty minimal however.
You should interpret my request as not just the shell running but common applications such as a file manager, a terminal, a web browser, virt manager or other common utility... I didn't mean every application should run in one and not the other. I meant the default file manager for each etc. Dolphin uses much more ram than nautilus in my experience...
Similar to Forbes testing but a round up of many popular de and inclusive of cpu cycles.
When I say 'Xfce,' it’s a good bet you think about a lean, responsive Linux desktop environment that’s particularly light on system memory usage. What about when I say 'KDE?' Prepare for some surprises. . .
Thanks

That makes it hard to judge how much an app actually weighs: it may appear to use less RAM because the underlying widgets and stuff are already loaded by the OS.
So if you see one DE eating 400MB RAM on startup and 600MB with the file browser open, while the other DE uses 450MB on startup and 550MB with the file manager open, that doesn't necessarily mean the second file manager is leaner. It's a strong hint, don't get me wrong, but it's not a surefire way to tell.
And then there's a matter of how much functionality you get for those MB of RAM.
Honestly, if you're curious about those numbers, I think it would be better to measure them yourself and of them what you want. I think there's no way for Michael to present those numbers in a way that won't start a flame war because he missed something, he didn't measure right or that he favored one party over another.

but I'm not sure how can you make this work with Linux's own infrastructure (i.e. without using a python script), maybe you need to write a kernel module for that?
In fact, most Laptops with accelerometers (2-in-1s) use HID-over-I2C, i.e. the USB physical and signaling layer is replaced with I2C, but the report data is the one stemming from USB HID.
