You probably would only have to do this once or twice a day. There's an open bug for gnome-shell's memory usage: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=960381 One of the things that aggravates it is RPMFusion's gnome-shell-extension-weather extension, in case you're using that. There's a Fedora extension gnome-shell-extension-openweather in testing which works better including using less memory. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
