The only historical gnome-shell memory leak I can find that might not be
fixed in 22.04 is bug 1991709. But usually memory leaks are caused by
extensions and we haven't seen many in regular Ubuntu for years. So the
first thing to do is to delete any local extensions:
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/
rm -rf extensions
and then log in again. Does the leak still occur?
The only unusual thing I can see here is the use of evdi (DisplayLink).
I don't know if there were ever any leaks relating to that because it's
so uncommon that someone would both be using evdi and report a leak. But
if you find leaks continue then I would recommend trying to remove evdi
from the system for a while.
