Every now and then, my 8 Gb RAM laptop that runs OpenSuse Kalpa runs out of memory, and when that happens it's a catastrophic event that it can only recover from if I catch it immediately, if I'm lucky and very patient. Otherwise it lags to a complete halt and the only remediation is a power cycle.

Is there any way to configure the system to handle those situations a little more gracefully?

as the sunniness of da sunroom is now beginning to decline, as per normal diurnal cycle, i be gonna soonish decamp back to da study where prolly the worst of da icicles might have thawed by now [a tad afore noon], thar to be back onto Proper Pooter, in lieu of sunroom's Pretend Pooter [ie, merely a 2011 lappy].

on said ProP i be gonna make a list of all my ​​ #archlinux #AUR pkgs installed, then cross-match them to pkg availability in say ​​ #Debian #Sid n ​​ #Fedora #Rawhide . if i get a reasonably high correlation, i then be gonna install such pkgs in Sid or Rawhide #Distroboxes, & uninstall them from AUR.

why?

1. tis getting pretty tiring with all the now-sadly-frequent #DDoS attacks on the poor ol' AUR
2. though i am rigorous in inspecting the #PKGBUILD for each prospective pkg before proceeding to install from AUR, i must admit i am largely pathetic in bothering to do #diffs of them before each subsequent update
3. as a congenitally depressed #misanthropist who views the sour state of this wretched rock around her with its apparently nonstop rise in malicious arseholery & shitfuckery, i pessimistically expect increasing probability of AUR becoming an attack vector, so in such gloomy scenario i judge sticking to official #repos likely to be a saner choice for me given my #2
