But what if the OOM notification daemon gets killed by the OOM killer?

You can’t fool me, they have another daemon for that

The OOM killer always, invariably starts off with killing the display server. Any side effects such as “the notification daemon loses its connection and closes” or “every single thing that you were working on loses its connection and closes” is incidental.

At least Windows has more precise monitoring, it will tell you whether the process is “Windows Telemetry” or “SVCHOST.EXE”.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
