I’ve been running into an issue recently where my system will start to stutter and freeze. Going into my task manager (Resources), I can see my using is using roughly 18/32GB of RAM despite closing all apps. Normally I should be at around 2GB on a fresh boot.

I’ve only noticed this issue appearing when first interacting with an app called Newsflash, but the issue persists even after closing the app. I even tried using systemd’s soft-reboot feature and even that did not clear the memory leak. So it seems the memory leak must be in the kernel itself.

And please don’t link linuxatemyram. This is not related to cached data.

    I’m not sure if it is related to Newsflash is the problem. Besides, I’ve been using the same version for months, but this has only recently become a problem. And the problem persists after Newsflash is closed.
