So recently I just come across Earlyoom and it has completely resolved my desktop crashing and better handles my memory, I was wondering if there is any other software that I’m missing that could potentially improve my systems resource handling?

Distro = Debian 12, KDE Plasma 5

    If Earlyoom helped you with OS stability, then you have memory problems. That means you’re running more in memory processes than your system memory can handle before the kernel tries to save itself by killing procs using a lot of memory.

    Get more memory if possible, enable a larger swap partition, or run fewer things.

        This person is not discussing a one-off memory leak issue. Seeing a memory leak means just stop using that program or go to a revision that doesn’t have that issue. People don’t just leave leaking apps out there for consumption.
