I guess Linux is different from macOS since I just had this situation last week. I wrote a quick app to generate a graphic and let it run in the background, noticed my machine was feeling a bit sluggish (but still totally usable for web browsing etc) and noticed my app had a memory leak and was using 100 GB of RAM and climbing on a 32 GB system. I could easily quit the app using the regular GUI.
