LTS. Meanwhile Gnome Shell is leaking memory like hell and it has bugs that've been open for 5 years and are marked as 'critical'. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1181666 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1... and the rest)

This is fixed in the release version.

I am running gnome-shell on 3 desktops and my current session is running for days and memory usage is stable around 230MB. The leak as discussed in the bug comes from certain extensions. I do not think it qualifies as leaks as "hell".

  If you just press "Super" multiple times does RAM usage go up? Was quite reproducible for me last time I've checked.

    And later goes down, as it gets GC-ed.

      Did you read the bug report? The entire problem is that GC isn't working right. See https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/ https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-mem... for more info.

    Just tried this on my machine and it caused no increase in RAM usage. Hit it ~100 times. Edit: Actually it is increasing memory usage, but on the order of like 1MB per 5 key presses. That would probably become an issue on a long enough timescale.
