Disk caching is almost never included in the ram usage numbers. Or if it is it's specified as caching, but still not factored into the number.

Huh TIL, had a look through my system and it sits at about ~5GB not including disk cache. Been on Fedora KDE since 39 and have put it through its paces so I'm pretty happy with that

I would've reformatted windows twice in that time because of bloat accumulation, and like you said there's always room for improvement with hyper minimalist packages.

God I love Linux.
