That's neat but can we fix the issue wear gnome crashes with full VRAM? KDE doesn't. Same set up

Have you submitted a bug report?

I want to but don't know how or what commands to run to see what the issue exactly is. But I've tested on my 1650 and my Rx 5500. If you have 4GB of VRAM and try to game gnome does not like that. On KDE it will slow to a crawl but won't crash.

Same exact thing here.

Just submit a bug report saying that the DE crashes when you exceed your VRAM limit. If they need more info, they'll tell you how to get it.

I think this is a general Linux problem. My laptop hard reboots, although it hasn't since I massively upped the swap.

This is different. I'm talking about video memory. But yeah systemd oomd is shite. It works sometimes, when it does it takes a while of waiting before it does anything

Ah yeah I misread.

I think you may be talking about regular RAM? Vram doesn't swap afaik.
