This Week in Plasma: spoooooky ooooooooom notifications!
Welcome to the new home of "This Week in Plasma"! No longer is it a private personal thing on my (Nate Graham's) blog, but now it's a weekly series hosted here on KDE's infrastructure, open to anyone's participation and contribution! I'll remain the editor-in-chief for now, and welcome contributions...
But what if the OOM notification daemon gets killed by the OOM killer?
You can't fool me, they have another daemon for that
It doesnt. Instead daemon terminates whole Linux
The OOM killer always, invariably starts off with killing the display server. Any side effects such as "the notification daemon loses its connection and closes" or "every single thing that you were working on loses its connection and closes" is incidental.
Keep up the good work!
