Memory Max by an unknown process?

How would I find what’s maxing my memory? It’s making my desktop mode unusable, and eventually crashes. There’s no applications or processes that are using any more than 1GB ram (list ordered in screenshot)

Yeah I was looking for another method - because as I said, desktop was unusable. However - I was finally able to get top -o %MEM off just in time before it froze up - and it appears to be Decky Loader? Im not sure why that’s running in desktop mode, and even if it is why it’s taking almost all the memory of the device.

it's probably one of your plugins, or it's trying to update and failing
