Fedora 41 GNOME vs KDE: Which Desktop Environment Uses Less RAM?

Although the difference in RAM usage between both DEs is minimal, I couldn't help but notice that the GNOME DE consistently utilized more SWAP memory in all the tests. Doesn't that have an impact?

Change vm.swappiness value to something like 10

The difference in RAM consumption is so small its just laughable
