Hmm is linux on arm so frugal still?

Don't have a Pi plugged in now to check, but I have a fresh x86_64 linux and it's using like 600 Mb of ram - server install, I only got around to installing and configuring openssh and samba so far.

Oh and it's Devuan, so not even systemd to blame. I think it was close to 1 G with a systemd distro.
