I discovered yesterday, that you can provoke a major memory leak by putting a GIF wallpaper.
Resault while running steam, brave, discord and all that. The brave browser started to lag. Steam was hanging. Discord was dead.
It was so bad, I was sure it was my system. So I reinstalled my CachyOs.
All was fine all day. Put back my wallpaper, and the issues was there again.
plasma-shell ate all my 32gb of ram. I did record this and put it into the cachyos discord. Then others in the cachyos community also could reproduce the same issue.
I could take a standard wallpaper, again, and the system settle and did calm dawn to normal. Changed to the GIF wallpaper, and same problem over again.
