"Rather, I prefer to see it freezing randomly and/or killing random processes, specially the ones likely to be currently holding all the (unsaved) work I did for the last 4 hours."
- npteljes 6y agoThis is my take too. Instead of disabling it completely, I rather set the swappiness to something low like 10. IMO it's the best of both worlds: I get some memory overrun protection, but it's not used when not necessary.
