The Big GNOME Shell Memory Leak Has Been Plugged, Might Be Backported To 3.28

General purpose Linux is designed to be bloat.
These who don't have memory, might want to check assembly OSes like Kolibri/Menuet or such
Our Linux devs have 16 core CPUs probably 32GB of memory, whatever and if it leaks couple gigs daily that does not matter at all, who cares - it is Desktop, not serious, etc...
And also devs are so lazy and ignorant to even dare to ask people with slow machines to test their bloated shitty code, no one sane with slow machine and/or low memory should ever test that and to lose any microsecond of his free time to deal with that laggy crapLast edited by dungeon; 21 April 2018, 11:42 AM.

Akonadi is the PIM framework, not the search stuff. Nepomuk, which has been abandoned, used to depend on MySQL as well. But their newer search functionality (baloo) does not.
I thought we are ranting about bloat so why not include KDE here?

It is still true that KDE installs a MariaDB database along with it and not "This hasn't been true for quite some time...".
I thought we are ranting about bloat so why not include KDE here?Code:~ % dpkg -l|grep mariadb ~ % apt list plasma-workspace Listing... Done plasma-workspace/xenial,now 4:5.12.4-0neon+16.04+xenial+build120 amd64 [installe d,automatic] N: There are 5 additional versions. Please use the '-a' switch to see them.
Anyway, I wish KDE plugged their leaks as well, but they have three layers to care about (Mesa, Qt and Plasma).
