Don’t know what to do to reduce it Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The gnome-shell memory usage indefinitely increases while using it. I can’t restart the shell (Alt+Fn+F2) while in Wayland and the only way to reduce this memory usage is to close the session. I don’t know what to do and many others too.
