What is your idle RAM and CPU usage?

Antix only needs 256 Mb of RAM to run. I left it behind for 'systemd' leftover political reasons. Antix allows you to install other DE's but when you install KDE Plasma it pulls in a remnant (an isolated part of systemd), elogind, setup by a separate team from Poettinger. PCLinuxOS KDE (and MATE and xfce) has no systemd, and no elogind cluttering the system. i tried to install the xfce version of PCLinuxOS on my good lady's machine but I had issues with printing and there was something else, but I put it down to the fact that the machine is not a dual-processor, just a single AMD Athlon64 from 2006, and surprisingly Q4OS KDE which has systemd, and based on Debian Bookworm runs relatively well. By that I mean you can't have multiple apps running. This is also mainly down to the fact that the GPU is a 512 Mb AGP 8x EVGA card. At least it is not e-waste!
