I also use this, and memory footprint is ~100MiB, mostly on the Xorg side. i3 itself + various other components is ~20MiB total.

Have you tried sway instead of i3? Any reason you've stuck to i3 with X11 instead or just no reason to change?

  • No reason to change. Though I might try it on one of my Orange Pi's one day. Does sway support OpenGL ES 2.0?

    EDIT: Actually I probably use a few things that would need to be modified to work, like screencast recording via some custom gst-launch command, that depend on X in a non-trivial way.
