This issue appears to slightly improve in 4.20. Some of the issue is that things like klogin are getting swapped, as well as other parts of the GUI. We need a way to tell the kernel what to swap out first (like Firefox tabs, or open programs). The kernel should also start swapping at say 65% memory usage very slowly, and then increase swapping as memory fills, not slamming swap at 95% usage. We also should make sure the OOM killer is doing its job, instead of waiting for alt SysRq f. As ram frees, swap should be unloaded immediately, slowly like MacOs does.
