Linux Terminal Memory Usage

User uses multiple terminals across multiple desktops, switching between xterm, rxvt, lxterminal, alacritty, and kitty due to various features. User discovers smem, which shows that kitty consumes excessive swap memory, leading to a switch back to xterm and then to alacritty. User devises a test to measure memory usage of various terminals and finds st to be the least memory-hungry option.
