Prelockd runs as a Systemd service and springs into action when the RAM is close to full.
No matter how much RAM you have, it may still be not enough in certain cases. Linux is known for its versatile and flexible tools for memory management. We can use swapping, at least two methods of RAM compression (Zram and Zswap) and also tune the system for better out of memory (OOM) handling. The hero of this review, Prelockd, is a very useful package for those who don’t (or can’t) use RAM swapping but still need to avoid system freezes and lock-ups when running low on free RAM.
