So recently I just come across Earlyoom and it has completely resolved my desktop crashing and better handles my memory, I was wondering if there is any other software that I’m missing that could potentially improve my systems resource handling?
Distro = Debian 12, KDE Plasma 5
Ha! Welcome to corporate, where vendors sell you software and say that the hardware has to have 128GB of ram and when you poke around a bit you discover a single JVM with constantly growing memory usage with a script that restarts it every time it runs out of resources.
AND a log file that describes - in typical Java excruciating detail - the precise lines in each module where the devs allocated resources but didn’t free them. About 40 times a second.
That isn’t consumer open source software. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen something with a massive leak bad enough to cripple userspace and cause OOMKill situations. You’re shoehorning a potential issue into a non-existent scenario in the context of this conversation.
