- I don't use disk-based swap, only zram.
- It happened again, and in this case there is no Virtual Machine nor Zoom

Perhaps this ps_mem snippet is useful:
<snip
Private + Shared = RAM used Program
</snip>
....
<snip>
294.8 MiB + 4.7 MiB = 299.4 MiB telegram-desktop.bin
290.3 MiB + 22.1 MiB = 312.4 MiB rocketchat-desktop (5)
323.8 MiB + 9.5 MiB = 333.2 MiB kwin_x11 (9)
344.5 MiB + 1.4 MiB = 345.8 MiB nextcloud
373.2 MiB + 21.2 MiB = 394.4 MiB spotify (5)
416.6 MiB + 1.3 MiB = 417.9 MiB plasma-discover

892.8 MiB + 444.5 KiB = 893.2 MiB packagekitd
1.0 GiB + 8.6 MiB = 1.0 GiB plasmashell
1.9 GiB + 81.0 MiB = 1.9 GiB Web Content (9)

9.7 GiB

Well I'll report soon, any idea (remember I have 16 GB of RAM with 4G of
zram-based swap) will be welcome
