Why does (GNU/)Linux handle memory pressure so much worse compared to macOS and Windows? I can allocate like 50% more than my physical RAM on these systems, and the performance does not tank thanks to swapping to an SSD. Is this a trade-off between optimizing for latency vs. optimizing for throughput, and Linux chose the latter?
