A small tool called Memopt++ to help prevent Linux systems from slowing down or hitting OOM under heavy workloads.
It monitors memory pressure in real time and reacts early by:
Applying memory limits to heavy apps using cgroups v2
Compressing inactive memory with ZRAM
Merging duplicate pages using KSM
Scaling control automatically as pressure increases
Example: On an 8GB machine with 20+ browser tabs + Docker, instead of RAM jumping to 95% and freezing, it stabilizes usage earlier.
It doesn’t add more RAM it just manages it smarter.
