Let's keep this desktop-focused, since the proposal does not affect Server edition.

As for the desktop case the running web browers in a cgroup to keep them in check would solve most real world problems - other common desktop apps don't use enough memory to cause such issues (unless your system is really memory constrained but then the "buy more memory" solution is the better fix).

The last time I saw my desktop hang due to a web browser using too much memory was 2015.

The freezes I've encountered in the past five years were all related to software development:

* When compiling large software projects, it's possible to run out of RAM either when building lots of files in parallel, or when linking * GNOME Builder runs ctags, and ctags likes to use dozens of GB of RAM to index large software projects. I think it sometimes gets into a loop where it just allocates more and more RAM until the desktop dies
