It's been well over a decade since I've seen that kind of behavior. Storage devices became much lower latency and the kernel swapper got much smarter.
- doliveira 4y agoOh, definitely not my experience with 16 GB of RAM.
- kaba0 4y agoIt still happens on an 8GiB laptop even with zram (I should probably buy a ram stick at this point).
- Avamander 4y agoCan't confirm. I have more than 32GiB of memory and very fast storage and I see freezes more often than something being killed. The worst I saw was LUKS/dm-crypt being unable to allocate memory and slightly corrupting one of the mounted filesystems. Linux Desktop in OOM situations is absolutely trash.
