Using the script Ralph sent me, and a clone of my installation to an external HDD, I have found that once logged in, the SUnreclaim value only goes up when I'm looking at the X server output. If I switch to a virtual terminal, it (almost) stops climbing. Display driver related issue maybe? I'm using a Radeon RX460 with the open source AMDGPU driver. I'm not quite sure where to report it, so I guess I'll ask on the Mint forums first and see if anyone else has experienced this. Sound like a good starting point? Hamish
