Spyware and bloat ain't cheap these days.
Linux users don't rejoice too much, the Fedoras and Ubuntus were eating so much of my RAM I had to take refuge in Alpine.

My Windows work PC is currently using 28.2 gigs to have outlook, teams and 6 browser tabs open.
How much RAM does CachyOS uses if you're running outlook, teams, and 6 browser tabs open?
The name of the bloat you're looking for is called "systemd".
Even though it's still kinda, sorta, possible to keep a lean Debian install in check (and Debian by default uses systemd), systemd is quite the gigantic kitchen sink. In the Fedoras and Ubuntus it's indeed out of control now.
The one thing that speeds up a systemd Linux booting (and usage) is removing as much of those systemd (dis)services as possible.
P.S: main desktop is Debian + Awesome WM (so I do use systemd)
