I had a look on bugs.kde.org. There many open bugs reporting plasmashell consuming/leaking memory, but few are confirmed by KDE. Is KDE still alive is it wiser to switch to another desktop ?

Created attachment 873632 [details] rpm -qa | grep plasma output I run Leak 15.5 with KDE on my laptop with 8Gb of memory When i run in a window "watch ps v k-rss -p pid-of-plasmashell" and i confire my desktop to run a slideshow as wallpaper, on each new slide i can see plasmashell grow. I normally keep logged in and just suspend my laptop when i'm not using it, so plasmashell is rarely stopped. At startup it uses about 4.5% of memory, but i'v seen it use 76% when i logged out just to kill it. I'm running with plasma5-workspace-5.27.9-bp155.2.3.1.x86_64 which provides plasmashell, but searching the web i find very old mentions of this bug so i suspect this has been an issue for a very long time (oldest was from 2018) You can reproduce this by having a folder with some pictures, configure KDE to slideshow them (right click on the background) and set the frequency to 1 second. Then watch the ps command reporting a growing plasmashell.
