If you want to learn more about that, the Linux MM ("memory
management") people have set up a wiki for that:

Enjoy:)
(and yes, on my box, more memory-hungry processes have a higher
/proc/<pid>/oom_score, so they seem to incur a higher risk of
being killed. The browser lies somewhat because it spawns quite
a few processes, but as a product of the propaganda industry,
lying is its second nature;-)
Yes I understand that from my point of view everything is bad and I am not objective. However, I see how things are broken and that is indeed obvious. I seen before my own eyes how Linux killed KDE session including Xorg but left 10x wine's exe processes with 8GB RAM each as a last. Entire tree with parent process was using all of the memory that would be 50+ GB. How this process tree is not having HIGHEST POSSIBLE OOM score and is not being killed in first microsecond of OOM situation is beyond my understanding. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
