I installed Fedora 39 a couple of days ago (coming from 37).

Pretty much noticed that some things are stuttering so I decided to check radeontop and I noticed that my VRAM is completely full all the time.

I was thinking maybe it’s all the extensions I’ve installed but disabling those helps only a little.

Tried using umr to see what may be using that much but didn’t really get much from it.

Here’s also the output of Xrestop if that helps (I don’t understand the output of it).

Also here are my specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile
(not using this GPU in this case cause it comes with its own set of issues seemingly because of how it’s muxed in my laptop)

I would appreciate some help with this cause I am completely stumped.

Hello, couldn’t post the outputs above in the form of text because they update every second and when they do they clear my text selection.

Sure, heres the output of inxi -Fzxx.

Look for “batch” options to see a single snapshot of state.
