Description Alex Debus 2022-06-09 13:06:05 UTC

### Summary

It seems that openSUSE TW lacks an OOMD.

`zypper search oomd` does not find anything and there's no `systemd-oomd` [1] service file.

It would be convenient if systemd-oomd were packaged to prevent system freezes due to running out of memory.

systemd-oomd is indeed not build.

You can use e.g. earlyoomd or instead.

Thanks, I will go with the `earlyoom` package for now. Since this bug report is basically resolved with that, I will close it.
