    A fork bomb no longer works on modern distros which use systemd btw, since systemd imposes limits on the user and system cgroups (IIRC, a user can’t have more than ~10,000 tasks or something).

      If you are low on memory, a fork bomb still works

      I can confirm that it crashed my laptop running fedora 36 (this was a while ago lol)
