KDE Will Nicely Notify You When Apps Are Being Killed Due To Out-Of-Memory


KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his weekly development summary of interesting KDE changes in closing out October.

Most noticeable this week is that with KDE Plasma 6.3 now when the system is running out of memory and the kernel terminates an application due to the OOM conditions, there is a service to detect that and display a notification to alert the user of the OOM situation: There's also been many bug fixes such as for XWayland-using apps possibly making KWin freeze. Another fix for XWayland usage also addresses resizing being "janky and jumpy".
