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:
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.
Because if i’m rendering on blender on my lower end PC with expected freezes but it auto kills the render?
Sounds like niche use cases
Not niche there can be times when you want to run something heavy and it auto kills the exact thing you are trying to run. You have a 1gb ram device and it kills everything? Thats undesirable
We do not break userspace in this household young man.
ok… I’ll ask… where the heck is the “sysreq” key on my standard keyboard?
