--- Comment #1 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> --- So this is still happening, and very much related to 3d activity, but otherwise without even still continues to climb steadily either way. It seems without gaming or 3d applications it sinks about 10gb of ram into plasma per day, but running various games or persistent gl/vulkan functions vastly increase this, using my 128gb in plasmashell within two days to need to reset the user session. Using wayland with plasma, I get weird artifacting in transparencies like the title bars of windows always, that show a mouse moving over it over and over - it seems to be collecting "fragments" of things somehow, caching or otherwise using them, and not releasing them. Any sort of dynamic graphics exemplifies this to the point of memory starts climbing the more active it is. Various games opengl or vulkan seem to cause memory use of different levels to grow in plasmashell, but they certainly never reduce along the way. I suspect windows snapshot caching, but not sure how to disable globally just to see if the system behaves. My system and configuration is not particularly unique other than maybe the resolution/displays, I'd like to think I'm not the only one seeing this as prevalent as it is. Combined with things like zoom still not working properly with wayland or a working screen locker, makes it really hard to want to keep with it as the "future" still. I'm trying to stick with wayland, but having to restart my desktop every few days due to a memory leak in kde/wayland is killing me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
