How to disable ksmserver

Hi, ArchLinux community. I am a newcomer into Linux from Windows. Previously I used WSL and MSYS. I managed to install Arch easily using wiki. And now I want to fully optimize my OS disabling and removing unnecessary programs.

So the question is. I am using KDE SDDM. I don't want session restoration system. I disabled it on settings but I see that ksmserver still working. I asked AI that session restoration is it's main purpose but I don't believe it. And I wanted to ask, because I couldn't find any documentation about it and how would I find documentation for different minor applications. Why I want to disable it, because it's using 100 MB in RAM.

Re: How to disable ksmserver

ksmserver is an integral part of a Plasma session, not something you can disable.
