Your experience matches mine more than op's. In fact I have a super shitty old laptop running gnome on fedora with a 32gb drive and I think 4 GB of RAM, maybe less, and it still sounds better than the experience they're claiming to have had with 6 gb ram.

Intel driver is the key to the problem. They have no memory leak issues as others did. At least not ti such a degree.

this was a few years back around gnome 41 maybe, who knows if things have changed since then or if something was just really wrong with my install. can’t really test anymore because i kind of already upgraded the pc
