Public bug reported: I found another user who had the same issue here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1515740/swap-memory-really-leak-on- freshish-install-of-24-04
Disactivating the [email protected] extension, as suggested in the one of the answers, stopped it happening again. But I want to use desktop icons, so I need it.
