How to stop entire VSCodium/VSCode window from being OOM killed in Fedora when it's better to kill the command in the integrated terminal that's the cause of high memory usage? (lemmy.ca)

It's acting as if memory.oom.group is set to 1, even though it's not:

dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/app-gnome-codium-158608.scope/memory.oom.group 
0
dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/app.slice/memory.oom.group 
0
dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/[email protected]/memory.oom.group 
0
dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/memory.oom.group 
0
dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/memory.oom.group 
0
dullbananas:~$ cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.oom.group 
cat: /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.oom.group: No such file or directory

What commands are running in the integrated terminal? Wouldn't it be better to run it on external ones?

How little ram and swap do you have that this is a problem?

You might just use ulimit: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/746762/90708

I feel like there's a better way to do this, unless you're intentionally trying to run out of RAM.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
