It’s an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I’m reinstalling the OS, I thought I’d ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

      I’d still use an oom killer even on 6.1 which is the kernel Debian uses, mglru got improvements in following kernels like you said.

        The Linux kernel already has OOM killing… Do you mean something like Facebook’s oomd where you can more easily control it from userspace?

          yeah, from what i remember the kernel’s oom killer isn’t that fast and external ones work better
