I'm not sure how comparing a mobile OS like iOS to a linux box is useful. iOS can kill background apps from memory outside the app developers control.

- lnxg33k1 2y agoBecause other OSes don't kill OOM apps? Or any app they want? It is only Apple and only possible on mobile? The only thing that apple has, is the inability to have background apps, so that if you want to use third party sync services, like syncthing, you can't and have to stick to apple products, the rest is just like anyone else
- veilrap 2y agoiOS isn’t killing OOM apps. It’s killing inactive apps. It’s something that wouldn’t fly on a desktop or server OS under general use, but works reasonably well in the mobile space.
