I prevent to auto kill the biggest memory eaters (which is always chrome/chromium/electron) once the the system actually is well into swapping. Usually it comes back without any killing without me hardly noticing unresponsiveness and otherwise it comes back fast once the chrome has been killed. This way I don’t risk the system OOMing an actual important process (like a compile I am doing) while that will easily and without issues continue after Chrome is not there. Anything important, in my case, is never a non terminal process.
