Hi to everyone! A simple question: how much is lightweight TDE in comparison with LXDE, LXQT and XFCE? Is it, perhaps, a middleweight? If it can be of interest, here is a discussion about ''lightness''. https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchm … t-vs-xfce/ https://blog.lxde.org/2016/10/04/benchmark-memory-usage-lxqt-desktop-environ...
For what it's worth, my experience running TDE on a potato (laptop built in 2008, 2GB RAM, Athlon64x2 CPU) is that it's light and responsive. Total RAM usage on that system immediately after entering X was <300MB the last time I checked. It's running Gentoo without a display manager, which may reduce the amount of required RAM a bit.
