Yes I understand that from my point of view everything is bad and I am
not objective.
However, I see how things are broken and that is indeed obvious.
I seen before my own eyes how Linux killed KDE session including Xorg
but left 10x wine's exe processes with 8GB RAM each as a last. Entire
tree with parent process was using all of the memory that would be 50+
GB. How this process tree is not having HIGHEST POSSIBLE OOM score and
is not being killed in first microsecond of OOM situation is beyond my
understanding.
