Possilble memory leak within kwin_wayland
Hey there. So I recently switched to Bazzite. And as much as I love the OS, after some time of the laptop running, the process Kwin_Wayland seems to start leaking memory. It allocates all of the free RAM, leading to the machine crashing. Here are the specs
Ryzen 5 5600H
16GB DDR4 ram
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 4GB
500GB internal SSD, and a 500GB external ssd, running through a Dell WD19 dock.

Hi bro
I might be able to help
It's related to HDMI being unplugged and plugged. A KDE issue. We need to wait for a fix sadly
Oh so it is a bug
For now, the best way I have, is after each HDMI display switch by my switcher, manually kill kwin_wayland.
Isn't kwin essential for plasma desktop
I need to figure out how to write scripts...
Pretty much. But it reboots after getting killed so that's a win.
A temporary fix, but better than not knowing what's going on
