Well that's because you're using a bloated distro. That's the cost of all those features.

My laptop, at 1.5 gigs of RAM, is blazing fast and has a smooth UX with a Debian+i3wm install.

    The meme said Linux, it didn't specify a distro.

    Okay, Jimmy Neutron. The meme said Linux, it did not specify that it was a Linux-based OS. The kernel uses a roughly similar amount of memory, it's all the other crap in userspace that makes the difference.

    If you want to be a pedant, get it right next time.

    What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to "your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)"
