Can't relate, just upgraded my laptop from 32GB to 64GB since VScode would keep closing due to OOM. What? Oh, no, it's not vscode's fault.....I keep like 5 Firefox windows with 30+ tabs open, like a fucking maniac..... Close them? What do you mean "close" them?
When I started hitting OOMs I just downloaded free ram.
(Modifying my zram-generator config to use 1.5x my ram size instead of the measly 4GB – uncompressed – default. Seriously it's worth looking into, though default depends on your distro)
Can't you just add swap?
I think you can run some apps purely on swap and keep your ram for vscode only
zram is swap on ram, it works by compressing parts of the ram when you run low and it's much faster than traditional disk-based swap.
