Provide a better experience for Fedora users in out-of-memory (OOM) situations by enabling systemd-oomd by default.
Earlyoom maintainer here. I think it's too early to switch to systemd-oomd, because it was just merged to the systemd codebase and is still an experimental feature.
In earlyoom we have a list of processes that cannot be killed (eg. dnf/packagekit/etc.), so it is absolutely safe to use as a default userspace OOM solution. We currently don't know anything about the systemd-oomd safety for regular use on end user desktops. We can't even test it on the current stable Fedora release.
That's why I think this change need to be postponed to Fedora 35 (opt-in in F34 and default in F35).
