          Well i didn’t do it in a vm tho. Try on bare metal or in a live usb/ventoy. I daily drive it on 8gb ram with ryzen 5600H and is super smooth. There might be something on vm that hinders performance

          Virtualbox is going to be slow since it is a type II hypervisor. Is Hyper-V/WSL enabled? If it is you need special settings or else it will run slow.

          The same CPU on bare metal would give you decent performance on KDE. Virtualbox and a win11 host like you mentioned, are causing the issues here.

      KDE can work fine in 4GB. GPU and CPU matter much more. What is your GPU?
