RSS it's at most an overestimation of the memory owned by a process. ksysguard reports PSS memory, which is a better estimation of process used memory. My PC (1 week uptime) throws a private memory of 176 MiB and a shared of another 100 MiB for plasma-shell (full blown desktop with lots of plasmoids, open apps, etc), which divided by the number of processes using it gives only 14 MiB. So the numbers we are saying (~400 MiB for a fresh start) are reasonable.
By the image you posted it's a livecd image, right? Doesn't the squashfs set an overlay tmpfs? oh yes, it does!
Didn't I posted that dirty pages in cached mem can't be claimed by only writing to drop_caches? It's on the man page for god sake. And for the last time: cached mem are a CACHE for files (or any other block device). It's NOT memory allocated to any user process.
Your hard numbers are based on incorrect assumptions of how linux memory management works.
PS: Plasma desktop can be improved? Sure! Does it work nicely enough tough? For me, and a lot of people, yeah!
