This is from a fresh boot of the system, except sshd I have not started anything else. ram consumption used to be just 126-200 mb now it has jumped so significantly that I am concerned I might have unnecessarily bloated my system:

I intend to use the system as a local server with an optional fully featured WM(Hyprland which is installed, but this screenshot was taken before it was loaded) for occasional use.

Ram conservation is a top priority and I would like to know if such a big jump in usage is normal or are there is something wrong with my system config

        I rather let it fucks my CPU than let my whole computer fucks itself

        I’ve used swap on my steamdeck for a while and it’s really only improved performance in memory-bound situations when I’ve used it.

        Not as badly as you’d expect, modern compression is pretty quick using the lz*'s and you’re only expending cycles when you’re hitting swap
