Seems like the author has some legitimate credentials, and I have explicitly noticed the OOM on Fedora SilverBlue when processing shaders in Steam (possible memory leak in Baldurs Gate 3, but still a hard crash when OOM).

He addresses that later under the title "zram on Fedora".

Basically because Fedora wants to eliminate disk swap entirely. They have systemd-oomd configured to mitigate the downsides.

I... I think that might not be working on my install... I keep getting out of memory crashes that hang my laptop and I'm not really technical enough to solve it so I've just been living with it until I reinstall and try to set everything back up, or distro hop again

I wonder if I configured something wrong at install or broke it at some point tinkering...
