Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don’t need to use the entire RAM.
It is amazing how little you need to have a functional system. I have a OpenMediaVault / minidlna server using NAS ARM board that only has 256MB of RAM, and it isn’t using all of it, and doesn’t need to swap.
There are some that the minimum system requirements is 192mb of ram or even lower
