SUMMARY
I have a problem with kwin_wayland. Over time, it uses more and more memory
until system starts swapping and becomes unresponsive. This is very noticeable
when I do web coding. I use JetBrains IDE and Firefox browser. I have these
apps opened for a longer period of time (today it's for 2 hours), and
eventually I have to restart my laptop because it becomes sooo slow.
I have 32 GB of RAM, so that shouldn't be an issue. When I close all apps,
kwin_wayland still sits on that memory and won't release it. I use built-in 4K
screen with HDR + 2K external screen.
Is there any way I could obtain more insights into what's happening and to send
it to you?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. For me just use JetBrains IDE + Firefox for longer period of time.
OBSERVED RESULT
Computer slow down until it's unusable and must be rebooted.
EXPECTED RESULT
No slow-downs.
