It does seem to increase memory usage. GNOME shell sure is leaky. Glad I have the luxury of 16GB of RAM. Still should be fixed in the LTS, IMO.

[Bug 1423773] Re: Gnome-Shell don't free ram when I change a wallpaper
I can reproduce this problem briefly in 18.04 (where the memory usage jumps dramatically), but after changing wallpapers 3-5 times the memory usage stops growing, or jumps back down to its original size. So I think there's probably still something to fix here in 18.04. But also, changing wallpapers is not something most users do very often. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1423773 Title: Gnome-Shell don't free ram when I change a wallpaper To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1423773/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
