Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.

Related and IMO a much better option for Linux desktops:

Early OOM

Wasn’t oomd the facebook thing for complicated server setups?

edit: yeah, for large data centers. Imho overengineered for single user desktop sessions. Earlyoom is simple and tiny.

This is great! Why doesnt distros use this by default???

Just put plasmashell and a few in there and you will have a working oom killer. Finally.

I will install this the first thing tomorrow

Wait… Fedora has this since quite a while, strange.

Nohang has some explanations to this.

I.e. kernel devs are ignorant to the issue of oomkiller not working as intended on desktop.

Edit: Lkml is down.

Just decrease your swap space.

Unless you have an unusual system, there’s no reason to have several GB of swap.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.

  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
