[08:56] <andrzejr> Hi, recently I am having many out-of-memory freezes on xubuntu. It is not a new issue but it got significantly worse over the years, perhaps because of my usage patterns, perhaps because of some changes in the system.
[08:57] <andrzejr> There is a discussion about it on OSNews: https://www.osnews.com/story/130117/kde-usability-and-productivity-are-we-there-yet/ (nothing to do with KDE)
[09:00] <andrzejr> I was wondering if Xubuntu could assign certain user processes (xfwm4, xfce4-panel, xfce4-taskmanager, xfce4-terminal, Xorg(?), shell, ps, kill) to a different class of processes with slightly more available memory to prevent thrashing.
[09:00] <andrzejr> A bit like this: https://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/local/it/projects/ubuntu-cgroups-and-trying-to-stop-users-making-a-system-unusable but this solution predates systemd, which also uses cgroup.
[09:26] <brainwash> andrzejr: I don't quite see why this should be limited to xubuntu
[09:30] <andrzejr> brainwash, it isn't.
[09:32] <andrzejr> But cgroup settings could be distribution specific. At least in theory, I don't know how this looks like in systemd.
[09:33] <brainwash> sounds like some research is needed :)
[09:35] <brainwash> so, it is unlikely that xubuntu will offer some custom solution, but adapt whatever is out there (upstream)
[11:18] <bluesabre> andrzejr: we could potentially do something like that, if you want to dig further for how we can implement it. Small team, and all that. :-)
