this is the first time in many years of my GNU/Linux journey that I saw a BSOD. on my office machine BTW. personal machine has never crashed even once.
the crash was due to 100% RAM and swap usage.

a mobile-clicked photo of a laptop screen. the background is full black with a sad computer image in the middle. the text below it reads: “Oh no! something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can’t recover. Please log out and try again.”
just below it is a small button with the text “log out”
Who uses ram anyway. Go buy yourself an HDD of 12TB of swap partition
Cloud is the future. Mount Google Drive as your swap
Oh shit guys we just downloaded more RAM
What if they have more than one pc? Are they supposed to buy a harddrive for each?
Get yourself a NAS and use that for swap, much easier to share between devices!
How do you get it to actually swap? I tried changing swapiness but it still hardly touches swap but maxes out ram and freezes.
To be frank, I don’t actually know. I’ve had one or two times where my ram was maxed out because I used too many VMs but I barely remember
