Try it. With a memory limit,

will use CPU but keep your system responsive. Without the memory limit
(this will hang your system),

podman run --rm -it fedora bash -c 'dnf install -y stress-ng && stress-ng --malloc 100 --memcpy 100 --mmap 100 --vm 100'

the system hangs and doesn’t recover after 15 minutes.

I don't think we can use this, though; or at least, I don't see how. systemd allows limiting the memory accessible to a scope, but it doesn't allow carving out memory for one particular scope that is not to be accessible to other scopes. So I don't see a way to use these memory limits to ensure sufficient memory remains available to critical session processes. (Am I missing something?)
