Gives a lot of Space for running Virtual machines.
Also browsers can chew that up fast if you have a lot of tabs, Firefox has managed to do it a few times. At least until I started limiting its RAM to 8GB (best decision ever)
(To use it with other apps like Chrome or Electron apps just replace the command at the end and startup class with the ones from the program you’d like to run).
Does it kill Firefox if it tries to go over the limit? I think I tried this once and if there is a memory leak it just closes itself (which is batter than hogging the whole system, bit still)

Limit Firefox to 8GB of RAM .desktop file
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Firefox RAM limit 8GB GenericName=Firefox Ram limit 8GB Comment=Limit RAM for Firefox to 8GB; Exec=systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryLimit=8G firefox Icon=firefox Type=Application Terminal=false Categories=Utility;Development; StartupWMClass=Firefox(To use it with other apps like Chrome or Electron apps just replace the command at the end and startup class with the ones from the program you’d like to run).
Alternatively you can open
about:configand limit memory usage there. For example limit in-memory cache.systemd-run? Wtf?
Oh my god thanks but what if someone had a systemd free system
Hey, thanks for this.

I think Firefox only sees 8 GB and limits itself ideally. So if it goes over it just unloads unused tabs and such.
