dwm on Artix starts up for me with 90mb of memory in use, which is super bloated. I need to get it down to about 45mb. Anyone know if I could achieve that by switching to Gnome?

dwm

it's not using wayland so it's probably not a real thing

Port dwm to wayland, remove XWayland, remove X-only apps, or add native wayland support to these apps, and then the desktop would consume less memory, as there will be only dwm left, without bloated X server.

dropping App Menu support from GtkApplication

What does this mean?

45 MB? Are you crazy? Anything above 1 MB is bloated!!!1! Therefore, KolibriOS ftw.

I've noticed that X is the main memory culprit. If I can get rid of X I'll be down in the memory range I want.

The KolibriOS ISO download is 27.7mb - total disgusting bloat. I can get an ISO of TempleOS that's just 16.5mb.

I thought the main concern was memory usage rather than download size? KolibriOS itself barely uses more than 1 MB of memory, so download size shouldn't matter (also because KolibriOS fits on a 1.44 MB floppy disk, so the download size is moot anyway).
