Im in search for a linux distro that is not ram hungry. I know elive dosen't use a lot of ram but my question now is. Is it good for daily drive and playing games from steam library? I have a rtx 3050 (I know this is a trash gpu, you don't have to tell me) and 16gb of ram.

Steam is very compatible with Elive from what I recall, try it, yes Elive is a very stable distro, especially the beta versions on E16 at this moment
