The Linux kernel's inability to gracefully handle low memory pressure
Glad to see this issue raised! My system hangs for minutes sometimes and is very frustrating compared to Windows and OSX which seem to handle out of memory in a much more user-friendly way. Which seems to be: suspending the offending program and letting the user decide what to do from there. I'm sure there's a reason the Linux kernel doesn't do something similar, but can anyone enlighten me? :)
