Not exactly as funny meme as I would like it to be, but I just found out about that feature after having to hold the power button due to a frozen system countless times, and I had to tell someone.

    This is great! Why doesnt distros use this by default???

    Just put plasmashell and a few in there and you will have a working oom killer. Finally.

    I will install this the first thing tomorrow

    Wait… Fedora has this since quite a while, strange.

      Nohang has some explanations to this.

      I.e. kernel devs are ignorant to the issue of oomkiller not working as intended on desktop.
