Auto kill memory leaking processes before swap death loop

I’m using linux mint 21.3, and a process (brave aka chrome) sometimes memory leaking, so eats all the RAM, and then linux goes into swap death loop, when everything freezes (sometimes the mouse cursor is moving), and nothing can’t be done, i can just see the HDD led blinking, and do a reset. Is there a way to make the system...

disheveledWallaby,

This might help.

You could write a simple bash script to get memory and compare it to your desired memory usage then clear memory when desired usage has been exceeded. Then set your script as a cronjob.

Or you can just setup a cronjob to clear memory at a set interval in a cronjob described in the link.

As an alternative my I suggest a general strike? I just think anything with guns should be a last resort.

disheveledWallaby,

It’s a remnant of when they had text size constraints in print media. Sot sure if there is a style guide so to speak but I think they used to concatenate sentences as small as possible while still conveying the authors intended meaning.

disheveledWallaby,

I always thought Soul Reaver played so much better on the Dreamcast then it did on the PlayStation. Great game.

Strangely Gex played better on the 3DO than on the PlayStation as well.

disheveledWallaby,

You have two hands for a reason. Give the Owlbear some love too.

Larian showing the love! I just love this game and think this studio has become my absolute favorite.

disheveledWallaby,

I fought in the great war against Ulfric the false Dovahkiin! In the time before and ever after I’ve slain countless Dovah and befriended but few. In the towns, in every city they all herd the Greybeards call. In every mead hall a song in remembrances of my kin long before my time had come.

For I am the last, Dovahkiin!

Bought Starfield, still can’t play it. Linux, nvidia no MUX switch. Starfield won’t use the discrete GPU. Doesn’t even know its there. Thrown every launch option I could find at it. Uninstalled and hidden now. Worst purchases I ever made on a game.

Oldrim and Starfield are the only bethesda games I didn’t buy on super sale. I’ll never make that mistake again. I even purposefully bought it without waiting for sales to throw some support to the devs for building the majority of my favorite games I’ve ever played.

The up side is that after about two weeks of tinkering I bought Baldurs Gate 3 on a whim. Been playing it non stop ever since. I might not have bought BG3 if bethesdas didn’t have such a shity unpayable game at launch, so in a way I thank them. BG3 has far exceeded my every expectation. What I thought would be a mediocre time waster turned out to be the best game I’ve ever played.

disheveledWallaby,

Yes I’ve done so much tinkering to everything I can possibly do. Like 5 hours of 2 minute game time testing. Enough to negate a steam refund!

Telling proton to use prime-run. Custom protons, every launch option that matched my specs on protondb.

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command% doesn’t work at all.

It’s not just a Linux issue. I read on steam, a guy only got Starfield to launch in windows after disabling his primary GPU in bios via MUX which sadly isn’t an option for me.

I’ve tried everything but Wayland. If you’ve got some magic to try I’m all ears.

disheveledWallaby,

I tried, steam said NO!

disheveledWallaby,

I’ve been trying to describe BG3 and how I feel about it and Neil summed it up in one word.

Masterpiece.

I couldn’t agree more.
