Hello everyone, sorry for bothering all of you, but I need some advice. These days I got a new PC to replace my laptop. And I install an Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS on the PC. There is something bothering me. Almost every day, it reports an error that the memory is not enough. My work (I’m a Java developer) is the same as when I worked on Windows installed on my laptop, both of the PC and laptop have
16G memory. But the laptop never reports the same error. And I am sure I’m not using more software now than I worked on Windows. So what I’m wondering is the error is just due to the memory management of Linux Kernel, or there is something I can do to improve my experience except adding more memory? When I first met this issue, I changed the `swappiness` to 10 from 60, and I add a swap file with size of 16G so that the swap space is now 18G. But the error is still there. And one more question, would it be helpful if I move to Debian (like with LXQT)? |
