this is the first time in many years of my GNU/Linux journey that I saw a BSOD. on my office machine BTW. personal machine has never crashed even once.
the crash was due to 100% RAM and swap usage.

image description:
a mobile-clicked photo of a laptop screen. the background is full black with a sad computer image in the middle. the text below it reads: "Oh no! something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."
just below it is a small button with the text "log out"

Tends to be mem leak in bad code for me

Yeah i only get near 100% when I'm doing a lot of virtualization or running nyx for a long time since there's a memory leak in there.

Wouldn't of thought nyx would be unstable.

[–] erev@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Not unstable nor unreliable, just a bit buggy. Every so often you gotta do a quick qq to exit and wait up to 5 minutes for it to let go of the ram. On occasion I've had to terminate the process as it was doing something wacky.
