@all, hoops i must say i forgot something !
I have a low-memory warning poping from time to time !
Wonder where it comes from...
Swappiness=10.... free space on ssd >70 °/°
Does anyone has kind of a clue to solve this "no problem" (for the time beeing!) ?
Best & feel free to use my@, i'm not that keen on reading Forums...

It comes from
nohang

It shows notification when Your ram memory is low
And tries to free up memory by killing some bad processes

Thanks a lot... Seems that there is not much i can do !
Except adding ram i guess...
I'll do with the warning as long as it remains a warning !

Btw you can also disable to warning, nohang ships 2 systemd configs one with warnings one without. Do the following to apply:

sudo systemctl disable --now nohang-desktop
sudo systemctl enable --now nohang

For amusement, I loaded the latest lxqt-lite live-USB onto my baytrail laptop (2GB RAM) and had a number of warnings from nohang. This is a good addition, as nohang kept the desktop stable. 2GB is still not enough RAM for Garuda (and many other distros!) The baytrail is heading for retirement - too many limitations and it is accumulating hardware failures too.

Good morning @dr460nf1r3 & @jbMacAZ & @librewish...

By the way my ram is~4GB, should do for the time being !
In fact that was the reason of my wonderings about the stange "warning" !
Best and many thanks to all & have a nice day.
