XMousePasteBlock VS le9-patch

I've actually been using XMousePasteBlock since it does things more elegantly than running an endless loop in the background. But it's still a workaround that shouldn't be necessary unfortunately.

Also, don't run this incredibly bad bash script for purging the X11 selection buffer. Use XMousePasteBlock: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

This is what I use on X11, but I doubt it would work on Wayland. Might be worth trying anyway: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

here go: https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock

I'm pretty sure I used https://github.com/milaq/XMousePasteBlock, never had to deal with it since

The option to turn it off only works on GTK apps. Here you have a workaround for this. I've been using it for quite some time now and works great so far (I'm on Pop btw).

This tool named XMousePasteBlock may help you, and it has an AUR package if you use ArchLinux.

Also, are you using a stock kernel? Try using this patchset https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch and more specifically set this

This kernel patch work really well: https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch/

Oh that’s a known problem. There are many patch sets floating around that fix it by triggering the OOM killer when the system is thrashing: https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch

I’ve never ran into this specific problem back when I was daily driving desktop Linux, but I did run into 1000 similar ones that needed bandaid solutions. It’s death of a thousand cuts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28490753

I actually do use the Zen kernel already. If you are already using the zen kernel , make sure to use the latest one which has le9 patches , imho this patch can Improve user experience in tight memory situations. Check this https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch, saw many people praise this , but ymmv. Best of luck

- Limit the amount of thrashing or protect some pages from being reclaimed. This has been proposed by Google first and several other people since then, but AFAIK it has never been implemented in the mainline kernel.

Regarding the latter solution, there is a patchset called le9-patch[1] that is included in some alternative Linux kernels and it should be relatively safe to use.

Patch i was talking about le9-patch. it's only a proof of concept with very rough edges, but consider it isn't written by an experienced kernel developer with deep knowledge of memory subsystem.
