Alt-F2 r on my Debian does not work, with the reason given "Does not work using wayland".

This changed in GNOME3. Pressing Alt+F2 will open a run box where you can type the command r. This is restarting gnome-shell, which in GNOME 3.x has had many memory leaks which lead to it becoming slower and slower over time. Performing this restart released much of this RAM.
