You keep making this claim as if you actually know. Have you tested it?
Have you even heard of someone else testing it that ran into that?
Yes, I have tested it. With Swap on ZRAM, it's precisely as I described. With
no swap it's like that, and with swap of equal size, it's at 300 MiB free and
only an eight of a gigabyte left.
That's what this software does. Its entire purpose is to kill software based
on memory criteria.
