What is kwin_wayland_wr? Also do you really have 6 GiB RAM installed? If not you may be able to reclaim some of it via UEFI if the RAM is assigned to iGPU.

I have 8gb and I assigned 2gb to igpu because I already have 8gb of zram, I'm not sure what difference it would make tho

As I found out recently myself, you should almost always set the minimum amount of reserved memory for the iGPU on modern hardware. The reserved memory is just that— reserved. The kernel still dynamically allocates memory for GPU usage as needed on iGPUs.

Really?, so I should set vram to 256mb and everything should still work fine?

Yes, iGPU can use system RAM
