Is that GNOME memory leak fix or so low to be noticed? – Info Linux

I never able to understand that memory leak issue. Is that any special hardware specific.

I watched https://youtu.be/zQCOO-9HZvU many times, and I can’t reproduce that. free -h shows same ram used no matter how many times I press meta key. What’s the point?
