I can't answer your question, but I can tell you I don't experience the problem you are having, and I've never heard of anyone else with the issue. Linux is a very advanced OS, and hadn't survived these many decades with a memory exhaustion error.
If you can't get an answer here, you may want to try the Linux.Kernel group on Google Groups. I might also recommend that you avoid generalizations about Linux when discussing the issues you are experiencing, it comes off as terse and mildly offensive.
