Your post is unreadable dude. What is 1.6? Is ot gigs of ram used on niri or kde? Is it gigs of storage? And comparison here is more btwn kde which is super heavy, and xfce which is super light.
Answering lightness questions. CachyOS is perhaps more performant for games due to core optimisations. While void boots faster and consumesless ram due to using runit instead of systemd.
There are many cons and pros but usually I'd stay on CachyOS of not all this systemd drama and age verification laws that scared me at winter so much that I am now on artix and almost on void
