SUMMARY
Basically on start up plasma shell gradually eats memory until the system runs
out, then takes all swap then the system siezes
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot machine
2. Watch plasma shell take all memory/swap
OBSERVED RESULT
Entire system is frozen and unresponsive
EXPECTED RESULT
plasmashell uses less than 1gb of memory
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 41 KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also when the system memory is almost out, the power buttons in the menu, what
would be called the start menu in windows, wont work. I need to use the
terminal to power the machine off before it freezes. If not then i must hold
the power button to power down
