While it is true that Gnome is the desktop that uses the most RAM, I've never seen gnome-shell use that much RAM or CPU in any Linux distribution.
Just to make you think a bit, System76 decided to change their GTK theme based on Adapta because they noticed it was causing high memory usage. Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu and it takes less RAM... I have tried many Gnome distros, Fedora, Manjaro, OpenSuse, and none took that much RAM. And that's not talking about CPU usage. So, please, take the time to review this before shoveling the problem to upstream. -- 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/1718552 Title: gnome-shell uses lots of memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1718552/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
