The dreaded Linux OOM killer is part of a mechanism where the kernel never

There are still people who don’t like the way the OOM killer works, even
if its algorithm is well-documented. So they implement their own process
killers (e.g. Android) to try to stop things getting to the point where
the kernel itself has to take action.
Fair enough. As long as those solutions work..
