@archlinux Thatâs a lot of RAM. Are there many things being loaded on Login?
I bet its that Firefox running. These days doesnât matter how light a desktop is. Soon as you load up a browser with few tabs it sucks everything up compared to what an OS uses.
i have gnome terminal and nautilus and firefox
but is in usb live iso
but firefox I have only open one tab to endeavouros forum site
Yep Firefox, I didnât spot that. As @QAP mentioned loading up a browser eats up some RAM. It doesnât really matter which browser. But as long as you have enough RAM it doesnât really matter. So: Voyager without a browser?
i have the same open firefox (endeavouros forum site) terminal and thunar i dwm but only use 933mb ram
so gnome take lot of ram
Gnome is RAM heavy for sure.

i have tried many font for terminal for icons
and I thought it was the best font I could find 
It looks good. The best I have found is Liberation Mono. Do you have a link for this one? Iâm not bothered about icons, just a good looking font. I used to work in the printing industry so fonts are a bit of an obsession for me. I have over 1400 fonts on many of my installs (!).
I am also interested in how to enable icons in a terminal. I havenât seen that before. Iâm not sure itâs necessary but itâs very interesting. Or is that just a file manager in dwm?
ranger file manager
in terminal i use lsd
i found nerd font on
terminal i use are st or alacritty

Ah ranger, yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the heads-up about Nerd Fonts. Terminals are very much down to personal preferences and what works well in a DE or WM I suppose. Ranger is very nice as is mc. I havenât tried st or alacritty. There is always new stuff to try out and learn! 
you welcome
but why i use icons in terminal e.g
and for ranger file manager
i dont like to use lsd becomes too much

Yeah just looked up lsd, seems too much. K.I.S.S. 
Back to Plasma, and trying to get it running more smoothly with Nvidia. Seems ok for now, still a few choppy animations here and there, but switching to xRender rather than OpenGL in the Compositor helps a lot.
Left my 2nd monitor out of the shot, as itâs not really got anything other than an empty desktop with no panels on it at all atm.
