I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system automatically detect swap death loop, and close the biggest ram user process, and so on?
if you can run it as its own dedicated user, you can set a RAM quota in /etc/security/limits.conf . it can share a group with your real user so both can access the same download dir etc…
good luck, commander
