GNOME as Desktop Environment, Leaking

  So with the WFH days due to Covid-19, I spend more time on my desktop, since it is more comfortable sitting at the desk, than over the laptop.  I was working using GNOME, which was ok for a while, but through out the day I noticed that my memory usage was at 100%, and my system starts to swap like crazy.

  I switched over to KDE Plasman, and it looks like having the same number of browser tabs/windows open I use only up to 5.1GB of RAM vs. 8GB and it doesn't seem to grow over time. I tested it for 3 days now, and KDE Plasma is way more stable and memory friendly than GNOME.  So I actually decided to un-install GNOME all together, I still have XFCE if Plasma decides to mess with me.  I did have one instance when it was not willing to start-up for what ever reason.  Maybe one day GNOME will become stable and memory friendly. I like it's simplicity and being un-cluttered. Plasma is ok, though at times it can be over configurable :)  

  Anyhow, I also ordered an SSD for my desktop, so I'll probably be replacing my Ubuntu system to Manjaro.  I prefer the rolling release, and over the year or so I've been using it have not experienced any issues.

  I will be an interesting switch, since I have a LVM HDD setup, the new SSD will have a fresh Manjaro install, and I'll try to mount the LVM, once up and running. Enough of this rant.... peace
