Notes
RAM usage
A fresh KDE Plasma 6 session with the Euri Linux theme uses approximately 1.5 GB of RAM at idle. This accounts for the desktop shell, background services (NetworkManager, CUPS, Bluetooth, cronie, syslog-ng, pipewire), and the compositor. Opening a web browser adds roughly 500 MB–1 GB depending on tabs.
Display aspect ratio
The default Plasma theme uses icon assets designed for widescreen displays. On 4:3 or narrower aspect ratios, some panel icons may clip. The GRUB theme (Layan) also targets 16:9 and may appear misaligned on narrower displays.
GPU acceleration
Wayland compositing benefits from GPU acceleration. Systems without a supported GPU fall back to software rendering via LLVMpipe, which increases CPU load and reduces responsiveness. Install the proprietary NVIDIA driver from the Artix system repository if using an NVIDIA GPU.
