    Can’t relate, just upgraded my laptop from 32GB to 64GB since VScode would keep closing due to OOM. What? Oh, no, it’s not vscode’s fault…I keep like 5 Firefox windows with 30+ tabs open, like a fucking maniac… Close them? What do you mean “close” them?

      You only need 1 tab to OOM if that tab is Jira. I’ve literally had tabs take up more than 10GB.

      I mean, I doubt Kate or Geany or Vim would’ve closed due to OOM, but sure…

        I had around 1500 open tabs in Firefox. It was fine. I figured enough was enough and closed them all. Now I close all tabs at the end of the day before shutting down.

      When I started hitting OOMs I just downloaded free ram.

      (Modifying my zram-generator config to use 1.5x my ram size instead of the measly 4GB – uncompressed – default. Seriously it’s worth looking into, though default depends on your distro)
