Sorry freq (unless you are an automated message); here's the full link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KS5Iy0OJ6UHWeoAN2WSBelHn6ZWjoUKT/view @Ralf Mardorf: Of course the DE doesn't. When I boot up to my desktop, my RAM usage is just under 1GB for Cinnamon + LightDM. Which is very fair for a modern x64 system. But thing is, I'm usually running a couple of virtual machines and browser windows and bulding something at the same time. (Yeah, I should get more RAM). ;) Regards On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 5:04 AM, freq via arch-general <arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

Hi,
Replacing GDM for LightDM was a smart move. (You can make it look like GDM; here's a hand: https://goo.gl/WpMrYg)
If you like GNOME and would still like to use it, I recommend changing vm.swappiness to a higher value (default is 60). In my case I found that changing it to 80 solved most of my unresponsive DE issues - although I use Cinnamon, and I have 8GB of RAM. YMMV.

Hello again, Thanks to your suggestions, I decided to 1. Replace GDM with LightDM 2. Install LXDE as lightweight DE The installation was easy and I am really glad of the RAM performance obtained (I suppose GDM was the real resource hog).
These is only one small desire that is still unexpressed for me: I both have mutter and openbox locally installed and I would like to use only mutter (looks much better) when using LXDE. The problem is that I have literally no idea of how to set up its keys; from its man, I should change them from the Control Center, that is not present in LXDE (it's GNOME stuff) and I am not sure of which GNOME settings services I should execute to make it work. If anyone has any tips, please speak ahead!
Thanks again to all, anyways :)
