--- Comment #2 from thedimensionofetern...@gmail.com ---
I am having the same problem on my Arch Linux HP OMEN 15-ce0xx laptop with two
external displays connected via HDMI and Mini DisplayPort. My system has 32GB
of memory installed (the maximum for this system); using Mission Center I
measured `kwin_wayland` to be using 23.6GiB of memory (a number from a few days
ago, the highest I've recorded).
I have found success at clearing the used memory by either **temporarily
disconnecting the external displays** long enough for the system to move all my
windows to the built-in display before reconnecting them (I usually wait for
the system to play a notification before unplugging/re-plugging another
display, the memory only shows as cleared once all the displays are reconnected
for some reason). I have also found success by briefly switching to a Virtual
Terminal (e.g. VT3 with `Ctrl+Alt+F3`) for a couple seconds to a minute (I have
had discord and VSCode close on me when switching to a VT once or twice, though
that may be unrelated.)
While I do tend to leave my computer running for extended days at a time with a
lot of Firefox tabs open (using 4.65GiB of memory while `kwin_wayland` used
23.6GiB), I don't think that should change the fact that it is filling my
memory fairly quickly (dropping from 13.3GiB to 413MiB, before growing to
1.13GiB over the course of 4 minutes after reconnecting the displays, rising at
a rate of about 2.5MiB per second. I measured these as I was writing this.)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 6.12.9-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Laptop: OMEN by HP Laptop 15-ce0xx
CPU: Intel i7-7700HQ (8) @ 3.800GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile
RAM: 32GB
Unlike Kubek4155, I haven't modified my NVIDIA drivers or disabled any of my
graphics cards in the BIOS when troubleshooting the bug on my system (I am
unsure if I can even do so in my BIOS.)
I apologize if my addition to this bug report is unnecessary or unhelpful, I am
new to daily driving a Linux system and thought I should share my two cents on
this problem as I'm getting tired of my memory utilization constantly hitting
99%.
