Bug Description

This issue is no longer actual - Ubuntu now uses systemd-oomd , like Fedora 34 and later, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableSystemdOomd

EarlyOOM service was enabled by default in Fedora 32 Workstationto improve the user experience in low-memory situations.
See https://fedoramagazine.org/announcing-fedora-32/

Change proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/EnableEarlyoom
Issue: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/119

I think it's better to start terminating processes only when available memory minimum is 5% instead of default 10%, so, I suggest to add

"-m 5" to EARLYOOM_ARGS variable in /etc/default/earlyoom file

Or maybe Fedora defaults: "-m 4 -M 409600" ?

See https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyoom/issues/181

Another solution would be use Nohang - https://github.com/hakavlad/nohang
