it's an 8gb rpi that has 6gb available. i recently enabled pruning because it has 1TB of drive space, but memory usage is the same > But the UTXO set never needs to be fully stored in ram so I think your initial point is mute first off, you mean "moot". second, you guys suck at arguing. it's like a fallacy tasting menu. the central argument is that core is making decisions which prevent people from using raspberry pi class computers as bitcoin nodes. this is demonstrably false, as a well run node currently uses 2gb of memory. some rpi installations are running out of memory, and on inspection it appears that knots/datum is a pig. if you are adamant about running knots/datum, perhaps they can be more efficient with memory usage. if not, it's easy enough to run core instead
