 Andrew | There is a drop after 4 days, cuz GNOME started ignoring LMB and I had to log out. | 23:00:18 |
| Andrew | if this is all due to one of the extensions left on, then it's just ridiculous. | 23:05:15 |
| Andrew | I left appindicator on, if it still goes bad, I'm gonna lose it. | 23:13:38 |

 K900 | Well yeah that's definitely a VRAM leak somewhere | 03:03:41 |

 FreeVariable | The Gnome 48 PR looks ripe like a fresh fruit! Cannot wait | 17:32:47 |
| Andrew | Is big used + swap says the same thing? Because without cache it's already at 13.6 GiB, with cache it's already over 15 GiB.
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 15Gi 6.3Gi 3.8Gi 107Mi 5.3Gi 8.7Gi

| Andrew | It's most definitely now much much better according to all stats, but I worry that if used + swap reach 15 GiB, it would mean that without swap my system will still die. | 21:07:16 |
| Andrew | From the graph and umr for gnome-shell, it looks like there are no more leaks, so, hurray, I think? | 21:07:56 |
|  Ochoa left the room. | 21:30:30 |

|  @9lore:tchncs.de joined the room. | 03:16:27 |
| K900 | Cache will be released as needed | 06:15:46 |
| K900 | That's why it's cache | 06:15:49 |
| K900 | So was it one of your extensions that was causing the leak? | 06:16:03 |
| Andrew | But what about swap? Surely with a few more days it will increase. Now it's at 7.35 GiB. Or is it if I remove swap, the "used" will not exceed? Like, how does it treat swap? As a spare space to dump more stuff, or does it use absolute minimum to function? | 15:29:08 |
| Andrew | Well, I removed 4 more extensions https://matrix.to/#/!XQQVyIbcAcHFvzmcTl:nixos.org/$zFjjK3ZC8jRObtXlp2gHKZrlEg9kQCqodiy8d24uNU4?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de | 15:29:17 |
| Andrew | * Well, I removed 4 more extensions https://matrix.to/#/!XQQVyIbcAcHFvzmcTl:nixos.org/$zFjjK3ZC8jRObtXlp2gHKZrlEg9kQCqodiy8d24uNU4?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de, so I guess some of them were bad. | 15:29:46 |
| Andrew | I really hope it's not the input method one, since it's the most practical and why I now suffer switching between languages. | 15:31:06 |
| Andrew | But I mean, if it leaks, surely you can fix that, right? | 15:31:31 |
| K900 | That's not how it works | 15:31:15 |
| K900 | Swap is where things you don't use are dumped from memory | 15:31:26 |
| K900 | * Swap is where things you don't use are dumped to from memory | 15:31:29 |
| K900 | Yeah | 15:31:38 |
| Andrew | well, yes, but are they dumped because there is more free space for that? or will this not happen if swap is disabled? | 15:35:40 |
| Andrew | * well, yes, but are they dumped because there is more free space for that? or will this not happen if swap is disabled? | 15:35:49 |
| Andrew | * well, yes, but are they dumped because there is more free space for that? will the same amount of memory be allocated if swap was disabled? | 15:36:25 |
| K900 | If it doesn't happen, things will be kept in RAM | 15:36:15 |
| Andrew | So my RAM usage would be 13.8 GiB by now? | 15:38:10 |
| K900 | Swap should not count to your RAM usage | 15:38:21 |
