I recently set up a new HTPC/server/NAS for the living room. It runs FTP, SMB/NFS shares, a DLNA server and a few other assorted things, and a Btrfs RAID1 storage pool. For HTPC duties, I just use the standard KDE desktop in openSUSE and SMPlayer/mpv with some tweaks (I'm not a huge fan of how Kodi works).

As is, right now sitting at the KDE desktop with default settings, total memory usage is 613MB.

This myth that KDE is bloated and heavy really needs to die out. It may have been true in the early KDE4 versions, but that's a long time ago.
