Use of memory on system
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2021-11-12 22:44:07 UTC
Memory issues like this are very difficult to debug without at least a bit of information what activities cause the memory to go so high. Can you do a little bit of digging to try to figure that out? For example:
- Does it increase with every notification you receive
- Do you use a slideshow or animated wallpaper, and it goes up with every new image

etc.

The Telegram and Slack was opened, after unlock the lock screen the usage of RAM was highly and show same notification.
No, don't have animations, only conky

What notification?

Can you reboot the system and monitor RAM usage and see if you can figure out what specific event or app makes it go up like that?
