Thanks for the hint, systemd-cgls at least makes it appear as if everything is in different slice ─user.slice │ └─user-1000.slice │ ├─user@1000.service │ │ ├─session.slice │ │ ├─app.slice │ │ │ ├─app-org.gnome.Terminal.slice │ │ │ │ ├─vte-spawn-f4a41678-fa09-4ab7-b6d4-d89e18bdb5f4.scope I do find it strange it picks Killed /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/session.slice/org.gnome.Shell@wayland.service I might have to dig into systemd-oomd to see why it picks totally the wrong option here. Is there a command to list the current memory usage for each cgroup?
