When faced by the complete bog-down when something like Firefox started paging, it struck me that too many applications expect unlimited memory access, instead of handling things some other way. It could take a prolonged fight to wrest control back once that started to happen. Which didn't help by the keyboard and mouse not having enough priority against other things. Likewise with some app that thinks its needs 15 gigs so it can do a 1:1 contiguous bitmap of something that's not actually dense data and easily compressed. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
