But these few can create the issues Andy described? Sure, one can argue I can setup a stress or stress-ng command line invocation as root user that will basically grind a Linux system to a halt – and in a way I consider this to be a bug in the kernel as well, but one that exists since a long time. But a GUI application running as a user? How about some robustness regarding what you see as bugs in userspace here? I think "The bug is not mine" is exactly the same language we have seen here before. If the kernel relies on bug-free userspace applications in order to do its job properly I think it has robustness issues. One certainly wouldn´t want this with any mission critical realtime OS. I think it is the kernel that should be in control.
