Very high RAM usage
I have the usual apps running on my session, Brave, VSCode, Discord, Spotify, … but before that, the maximum amount of RAM I would use with these apps was 8-9Go maybe ?
When I reboot the computer, everything works fine. RAM usage is very low maybe 4-5Go with all the apps running. But after some time, the RAM usage starts increasing quickly.
I can’t tell if it’s related, but I started to observe high RAM usage soon after this event :
I’m not sure exactly when this started to happen, but it was after I used SDL graphic library for a game dev project. Malloc were not freed somewhere, and I launched the game so many times that it needed to use Swap memory at some point. I noticed the laptop was very slow, and realized swap limit was increased from 15Go to 30Go, I was at Mem:14/15G and Swp: 20/30G. Rebooted the computer, RAM was freed and computer was working fine…

Also, does Garuda include scripts to reset Memory to default settings or something that could help me reset the Swap limit to 15Go ?
