It does but who know...
The fact the computer has "only" 6Gib RAM is a factor too, more ram you have, more it consums

Doesn't the base system include both by default?

mmh weird, with very basic install + dwm (which I think is one of the lightest wm), I can't go above 350 mib at boot. Don't you use dbus not elogind ?

@brday I install from the base system and can't get anywhere near 160 MiB. Must be all the bloat I added.

Very nice! Love the low ram usage, but are you measuring that the old-school way or the legacy way (excluding buffers and cache)?
