> Couple that with the fact that it's difficult bordering on impossible to correctly determine the culprit. If you've got 16 GB RAM and the user launches 3 processes each of which attempts to use 8 GB who should you kill?
In all cases, yes, in some cases no, you can make some heuristics for common use cases
For example, if I have 3 process hogs, on desktop I'd rather have my dev containers be killed, than anything I'm using.
Or on server, I'd rather have anything else but SSH/VPN software killed, because that's needed to debug the problem.
