I use Vivaldi and Brave browsers and I like they have the feature that shows the amount of RAM they are using in each tab. Most of my useage is just browsing with a little Youtube thrown in. Any idea what version of Linux runs light but doesn’t need everything to be entered via the terminal? I like a Windowsesq UI but Linux Mint was resource heavy.

I understand what you are looking for. I honestly never cared much about how light it was or no because Linux is already so light compared to Microsoft. It was never a big priority. But I am running Mint “Cinnamon” and it is pretty quick and lighter than the Debian and Fedora. Cinnamon is actually the Gnome Desktop.
