Introducing low-memory-monitor, a new memory shortage handler for GNOME

Bastien Nocera announced a new memory shortage handler for the GNOME desktop — low-memory-monitor. The daemon evaluates memory shortage through /proc/pressure/memory and, upon exceeding the threshold, sends a suggestion via DBus to processes to reduce their usage. Additionally, the daemon may attempt to maintain system responsiveness by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger.

Combined with the ongoing efforts in Fedora to implement zram and phase out swap usage, low-memory-monitor enhances responsiveness and performance on most workstations. The project is written in C and is provided is licensed under GPLv3. The daemon requires Linux kernel 5.2 or newer to operate.
