You cannot tell me that a FULL-BLOWN DE is taking up 55 MB OF RAM. (Right now 33.8MB)
This is epic.

well,
am not convinced that I would call E a full blown up DE,
but in any case - that's cool ( if this measurement is correct {?} )
Heheh, in the same situation E16 only uses about 14.9 Mb.
But there's more running to have all the fun we're used to. 
I seem to be "out of sync" with others every time I switch DE for long term use ..... I am on E16 again since I wanted to make/mod it be "modern", whatever that may be. 
Methinks there is nothing wrong on that.
Why not E16 then?
Prolly we are the only ones using it in a serious way, ya? No ?

So.
And now you have tell my PC with 64GB of RAM -
what to do with the rest of the daytime.....
Umm, run Catalina (and Leopard) in Vbox? 
Normally I use Vbox fullscreen but made it smaller to show off...and I've only got 8G RAM.
Sheesh, I started off with a whopping 35Mb hard drive on my PC running Win3.1 ..... my first PC with a GUI.

Yep, that's sweet.
(Leopard is useless, though)
dont even try to install big sur. its download is 13GB and it needs an additional 35GB during installation ... not great.
hm....why?
I use it daily and love it.
Apart from the frequent crashes.
true, but just goes to show how little a minimal install could be. why, we could realistically have a 100MB system - it'd just be garbage.
There's a GUI system to checkout that's really minimal: Mulinux.
It's really old but sometimes I still run it on very old hardware, just for the fun of it.
