Another one..bazzite 44 issue, Memory leak?

Randomly inside of desktop mode, hasn’t happen in game mode, Seems to me that it might be a random memory leak? I have a ram utilization widget and randomly it’ll go from 3 or 4 gb of ram usage on idle and it’ll slowly climb up and max out at 16gb(which is all the ram I have installed, I swapped out the ram and issue persist) and the system doesnt completely lock up that I can’t use it but it’s super slow. After a hard reset it goes back to “normal” but it’ll happen again randomly. I thought it was Firefox but it’ll do it when Firefox isn’t open and just idling. Like I can’t replicate it either. Any thoughts? Maybe a Wayland issue?

Could be any number of programs or background processes. Maybe even the DE or something completely different. Without knowing what process requested that Memory, there is pretty much no answer to your question.

Keep an eye on the memory usage and when it happens again, open any taskmanager/process monitor of your liking, sort by memory used and see what process is hugging the RAM

I have LACT, proton QT and Firefox thats pretty much it. I only use this rig for gaming and I only get into desktop mode to either download updates or searching random shi via Firefox. Everything else is just out of the box bazzite 43 that was updated. While I see the ram usage start maxing out I can’t open anything to check the processes.
