Public bug reported:
Since I installed Ubuntu 22.04, firefox and visual studio code are
frequently killed by systemd-oomd (every 2hours).
I have 8 GB memory and never experienced this before the upgrade to
Ubuntu 22.04. I thus assume that the claim that there is not enough
memory is abusive. Did 64GB of memory become the minimum requirement to
run Ubuntu ?
The second problem is that it gives a very bad user experience which is
critical for new Ubuntu users.
There should be a warning prior killing apps to give the opportunity to
save the app data. There should at least be an apologize and an
explanation after killing the app.
The current behavior gives the impression that Ubuntu 22.04 is
unreliable and unsafe to use which is a problem for an LTS release that
many people might want to use for critical production context.
There might be a configuration problem with systemd-oomd or simply a
bogus behavior. I would recommend to disable it or remove it completely
until this problem is resolved. This is what I will do for myself
because I have work to do.
