Description leyvirose 2025-07-12 17:59:28 UTC 
After a few hours of usage, `plasmashell` starts taking more and more CPU%, as well as more RAM. Yesterday, after being logged in for about 5 hours, it was using 2GiB of RAM and 100% of my CPU, and the desktop was nearly unresponsive. This has already happened a few times, and I doubt that this is the desired behavior. I'd be happy to provide any information that you'd find helpful (I don't know what that might be, but feel free to ask for it).

Any output from journalctl --user -u plasma-plasmashell -f 

when in this state?
