Yes and no. They should really separate the fancy stuff from the base stuff. Like have a kwin-wayland-base and kwin-wayland-extras.

I guess some other features are not easy to rip out, but having only simple animations etc would really make sense.

I will try Plasma 6 on an Intel core Duo in some time though, exited.

They have an issue with disabling not needed stuff. XWaylandVideoBridge, legacy app tray support, GTK global menu adapter, and other cool but edge case stuff is just always running in the background.

Same for accessibility, GUI keyboard and Orca, even though they will be somehow dynamically loaded, they are not controllable transparently by the user.

Eh, I used it on an HP Pavilion DV2000 (3 GB RAM) from 2009-2017. With Gentoo. It worked just fine.

Gnome 3, on the other hand...

Well thats not Plasma 6, but it likely didnt get worse.
