Can it not be disabled? I’ve heard so many horror stories about the OOM killer that I’m really not a fan at this point.
And might as well add one of my own.
I needed to do an unpacking of a very large file, which I kept running in the background, but it used a ton of memory and took a ton of time. So to ensure I’m not bored for 30 mins, I opened up the browser. Around 10 mins or so later, I go to check up on the window where the operation is running only to find out the operation… stoppped? So after that, I just started the operation again, closed all other windows and background programs, and checked out stuff on my phone while I waited.
