Created attachment 177135 [details] screenshot SUMMARY I would say for about 4 months now, kwin_wayland takes an insane amount of memory 8-10gb! Initially, after kwin would take about 8-8.2gb of memory, it would become slow, and then crash! In the more recent kernel versions (at the moment 6.12.8-2-cachyos), the system doesn't crash but when it reaches 10gb its completely unresponsive and I have to force reboot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE There arent really any specific steps that cause this issue. It just happens when it happens. Usually after a couple of hours of browsing. OBSERVED RESULT Initially the system works fine and is responsive. After a few hours you will feel like the system is slow, and there are frame drops, after which you will open the process manager (like btop) and will observe kwin using 8-10 gb of memory. I have attached a screenshot: I also have a (somewhat) older bug report that might give you bit more insight: https://paste.cachyos.org/p/25bf4f9.log This bug report is from when my system crashed after 8gb. I havent been able to create a newer bugreport yet because by the time I feel like lag, my system starts becoming unresposive. EXPECTED RESULT Obviously the expected result is for this not to happen. In other words, stable performance Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.8-2-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics (also have rtx 3070-ti but kinfo doesnt display it) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Also saw this kde bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496469#add_comment, its similar to mine, but im not disconnecting any monitors (although i am connected to one though). Furthermore, its marked as resolved, so they are *probably* not related, but I though it would be good if I mentioned it. Thank you for having a look
Hi, I managed to create a more recent bug report https://paste.cachyos.org/p/01270e5.log
Hi - a few questions to possibly help narrow this down: Does disconnecting, and then reconnecting your monitor change anything? (Possibly related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497056 ) Assuming you're using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, does the issue occur if you boot using the Nouveau drivers instead? (Possibly related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496898 ) Does the issue occur if you boot using a more "standard", closer-to-upstream Linux kernel, as opposed to cachyos, zen, etc.? Just on the off chance, does the issue occur with standard Breeze theming? (Noticed a few lines about the CachyOS theming in that log and thought it might be worth a double-check) Thanks!
