No matter what you do, gnome-shell eats up RAM slowly. In case you shutdown your machine after every use, you will not notice it, however, if you keep it running or tend to suspend/hibernate, it will reach a point when it will swap.
After one day of usage (just web browsing) gnome-shell increased ram usage from 100M to 350M. It does not free it up even if you close all windows. In my 4GB machine, it means that either I restart every day or I start facing swap issues the second day. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672297 Title: gnome-shell uses lots of memory, and grows over time To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1672297/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
