Or Ubuntu used a different configuration?
I'll wager it is because Ubuntu, hated as it is, still has a much larger install base, particularly on the Desktop, where this may be revealing the issues with it more than server-land does.Last edited by claydoh; Jul 14, 2022, 08:12 AM.

I made it clear that the commands should not be run unless you have plenty of RAM, swap space, and are not suffering from user space errors. I also stated that if there are problems then the user should re-enable the service. If you do not benefit from an oom daemon, then you do not need it.
Executing those commands on Ubuntu causes User space errors.
It can be very helpful on a server that needs to stay responsive. It is very helpful on systems with insufficient RAM and/or swap space. Not every system requires an Out Of Memory manager. Also, there are alternative OOM daemons/OOM managers that the user can install besides systemd-oomd. EarlyOOM, for example, is available in the repos.
Basically, if systemd-oomd is killing apps on the system frequently, you probably need more RAM (most likely) and possibly swap space (less likely). If that is not possible, you need to keep systemd-oomd enabled. Most people who do not need it will never even know it is running. The people who are having issues with it probably need it.Last edited by rab0171610; Jul 14, 2022, 12:41 PM.
