I think that restrict kernel ram + swapoff do the same thing?

edit /etc/default/grub

in the line that appears:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

you can add de "mem" parameter to restrict the ram usage, for example:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash mem=256M"

Notice that de M is for Megabytes, if you no put the M the kernel will try to bot with 256 bytes of RAM lol xD!. If something is wrong you con boot in recovery mode that omits the kernel parameters.

after edit the grub file you must run

sudo update-grub

then restart.

I think that is useful if you not have a machine with low ram and you wants do the heavy test suggested by amjjawad.

Hope everyone is doing well :)

No, this is not a joke nor an email to get to know you :P I know most of you already ;)

I'm sharing something with you that I wanted to do in ages and I'm glad I finally did it.

I'm sharing with you my way of heavy testing or maybe crazy testing.

This is on Real Hardware - sorry, don't believe much in Virtual Machines :D



NOTE:
This is NOT A MUST - please understand you don't really have to do this.
ONLY if you are wiling to learn more, have fun, follow my approach, go for it.

I'm not responsible if you will see some smoke coming out from your machine :P just kidding :)
