Yeah, SIGKILL is indispensable when it comes to thrashing scenarios. I'd have librewolf opened for days on end because I use a laptop for my main workstation and it'd slowly leak memory until I run out of ZRAM for my swap and my system would lock up. I'd just enter a different TTY and SIGKILL librewolf. This rarely happens now since I have 16GB of memory with my "newer" used laptop.
