Comment:
Today my computer froze due to a memory overflow. After rebooting memory usage went back to ~6GB without any GUI applications running. The only weird thing is that the memory usage reported by tools like top is only 150MB and adding them all up doesn't even get close to the amount of memory used, even when being run as root.

Comment:
This isn't an actionable bug report. You haven't even presented evidence that `gnome-core` is the culprit here. Do you have any more relevant information that can help diagnose the problem?

Yeah, that was just anecdotal since it started around the Gnome 46 update, I should've tested it more before that. I now killed and deactivated all services / programs except for runit and the default agetty-ttys. I still have 4.16GB of used memory according to free -m and htop

I tested this very extensibly and noticed that it is not gnome, so I will close this issue and open a new issue for the application that causes this issue
