Public bug reported:
gnome-shell leaks memory like crazy. after 4 days of uptime it uses
13.8G virt and 1.3G reserved mem. This is after I switched to wayland to
mitigate the same issue, but on X.org it was much more crazier - about
20G virt / 1.5G reserved after one-two days of uptime, only the leak was
in X.org process (2 of them, greeter and main), not gnome-shell.
p.s. I do understand that gnome is the best piece of software, and I just use
it incorrectly - likely I have some extension or application that is at fault.
The bug report is sort of rhetorical.
p.p.s. Unmodified LTS system (focal). Started to manifest about a month
ago, out of the blue, no changes...
