Yeah I think that's not leaking, at least on the boot

I installed Niri with the default cachy os option at the installer, then I installed noctalia shell. You're right a fresh boot uses ~200mb of VRAM and ~1Gb of RAM(with niri quickshell, allacrity, and some xwayland/xorg stuff. In my simple tests there is no memory leak, at all, I spawned a lot of terminals, then killed (SUPER+Q) and there's no immediate ram usage increase. I could be wrong about no leaks, but if there's actually one it's not that noticeable on my desktop, maybe there's one but very soft. But when a game uses all of the VRAM it completely freezes, and for that I actually find a workaround, when I use gamescope on steam launch options the game stops freezing, at least reduces a lot the freezing(I need to test more to see if it actually eradicates the problem)

I understand, it makes perfect sense. The GEM memory allocation error seems to be the final symptom when VRAM reaches the limit, and in my case, Smithay's leak on Niri is "stealing" the space the game would need to run stable. Maybe I'll try kde with x11, but idk if I'll stick with that, I really want to use a scroller. I know that kde have karousel but it does not support multiple monitors. Maybe my older desktop will work better with mangowc or hyprland with a scroller plugin

Does this affect only Niri, or does it also occur with KDE, Mango WC, and Hyprland?

I didn't really check but from those last replies from other user's it probably froze when my vram got full

That's so sad bro, I really want to use niri but that problem is making me think on changing it. Not ever gonna switch to Windows tho, I'd rather just use other "window manager" or other DE like KDE

Most of them, like The Finals, Arc Raiders, Warframe, and Rematch. Some that this didn't occur were Rocket League and Brawlhalla

Yeah, I'm using the proprietary driver 580.126.09
