Which distro are you testing on? Any Debian based (past 4 yrs at least), Arch, Fedora-- OOM does NOT kick in. Try it on a bootable USB instance as I suggested. No swap there at all. Changing min_free just makes the freeze occur earlier. (also depends on which DE. Gnome/Unity is the worst

I'm posting again. This bug still exists. Easily reproducible. Here's how. (You NEED to be able to essentially use up RAM to see this bug in action) Tested on a 3GB desktop (Core 2 Quad), running Live Ubuntu 18.10 LTS off of a flash drive (pendrivelinux.com). Kernel 4.18.0-10. FF 63.0. I set the

@constantoverride Thanks for the patch. AS I'm running Live, I can't upgrade the kernel. It looks like that patch was merged into the mainline kernel at some point since it's reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1577528 , that the bug no longer exists. I'll have to wait

Update: I'd commented in detail about this bug (post 77,78). I run the live versions of Linux on a 4GB Core-i5 laptop (and another 4GB pentium laptop also.) Just wanted to add: I've added 4Gb of RAM to the Core-i5 laptop for 8Gb total now. This helps a lot, but it's not a cure. With Fedora 28,

Fedora 27, fully affected. New to linux a couple of years ago, I decided to try 'live' versions on two Win 7 laptops (4GB Ram each). Debian 8.6 first, then 8.7, 9.2 and 9.3. Ubuntu 14,15,16 Fedora 26, currently 27 DE's: Xfce, GNOME, Unity, Mate, Cinnamon, always the same problem. (XFce hold up
