This actively limits the amount of RAM that end users are able to make use of. The more RAM the end user has, the more RAM is not available for use, because EarlyOOM will kill software long before it's able to be used. For example, on my system, with 6 GiB of RAM, this will send SIGTERM while I still have over half of a gigabyte of RAM, and SIGKILL while I still have over a quarter of a gigabyte of RAM. There's absolutely no justification for this, as I see it. > 2. It's clear you don't like this feature, but characterizing it as random > and ruining things is going a bit far (to put it mildly). Not at all, see the above example. Most users have more RAM than I do, not less, and even then, it's hurting the UX. -- John M.
