8GB was barely enough 10 years ago. That’s when I switched to Arch+KDE. Then KDE started using more. memory.

More memory meaning? From 800Mb to 1GB? I’d say, for what plasma is, its ram usage is low.

The difference was hundreds of MB, but when you’re working with 8GB every bit counts. At that time KDE had an edge over Gnome. At some point the difference wasn’t there anymore. I was rationing what software I had open so as to avoid hitting swap because that’s when there’s a noticeable lag. Gnome was worse at recovering from that.

If you want lightweight, KDE is not your best choice. LXQt and Xfce are actually intended for low resource usage.
