And that is exactly the type of problem earlyoom is trying to solve. Users should also be aware that, by default, earlyoom is called with Preferring to kill process names that match regex '^Web Content$' With "Web Content" being a firefox thing. Other web browsers are not immune to eating up excessive memory due to number of tabs open and the content being served. So, if you're not a firefox user and you'd rather earlyoom kill one of your tabs instead of picking some other application you may be running you'd need to adjust the setting. You also may wish to add to the --avoid list. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
