Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605MI consumes a lot of ram on Arch Linux using XFCE
Hi, yesterday I made a clean install of Arch Linux. Before that I had a old one using XFCE and AwesomeWM. Now, I am using XFCE and XFWM4. Here is what I installed: sudo pacman -S exo garcon xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfconf xfwm4 fastfetch btop asusctl supergfxctl firefox ghostty. Before, we I was using Awesome WM, my system used only 1,25GB of ram in total at boot. Now, with XFWM4, it is using 2,5GB in total at boot. So, I would like to know if any of this is normal.
Here is my "ps -aux" (with one firefox tab opened):
