--- Comment #1 from Michael Butash ---
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.
