would swap help?
"If you need to use the swap, you're doing it wrong" -- That's what I learned long ago. And it has held up so far.
Interesting. I've never heard that. I use swap all the time and it's saved me from OOM scenarios. I'm currently limited on RAM so maybe it makes more sense for my situation.
I have a laptop with an NVMe drive, and even using a swap on NVMe is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Usually as soon as you have to swap, everything grinds to a halt quickly, and more stuff stacks up. You can decide for yourself, if you'd rather die a slow death or a quick death.
Yeah I definitely get that. By default, swap is supposed to be secondary to ram, usually swappiness is configured that way. I was not implying that swap was a replacement for RAM, just that it might save you from OOM situations in exchange for some performance dips.
