could have gotten a lower memory usage but i had brave browser, steam and a game running while taking the screenshot.
for anyone who wonders what "shed" even is here's the repo: https://github.com/eylles/shed
shed is something i've been developing for me as target audience, it is intended to be what debian defines as an "x-session-manager" tho as generic as possible, as well as able to provide user services completely independently of the init system, be it sysvinit, runit, openrc, dinit, sinit, shepherd, s6, etc... shed cares not nor even knows about those, all it can do it can do with just a posix shell interpreter and busybox compatible core utils, which is also the reason development has been slow in spite of the amount of commits cuz writing this sorta stuff in posix shell is not simple or easy...
that being said shed is still very much under active development and many things still need to be implemented to be a proper "x-session-manager" that can handle a "built" x11 desktop like the bunsenlabs desktop for example, and many more features are required so it can handle a wayland compositor like sway, in the meantime here's the repo for y'all to check, or not.
