My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

I'd have a swap file that is 2x your memory.

So 32GB then? I have 16GB of RAM

[-] voidskull@lemmy.ml 10 points 8 months ago

If it is more than 4GB, have swap equal to the size of ram

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

But I can pretend I have 128Gb ram ๐Ÿ™ƒ

[-] KuroeNekoDemon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

You can never have too much RAM

[-] SeekPie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Just download more if needed

[-] eclipse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

If you have plenty of storage I would do it. Some wine applications love to stall my system and a large swap helps a bunch.

Or if you read another one of my comments I found out that this was isolated to SMT 3 Nocturne Remaster on Steam. For some reason if I try to boot that with VSeeFace my PC crashes but not with the original version or other games. It's an Atlus being Atlus problem

Maybe use swap on zram instead, like it is ootb on fedora

[-] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I have no swap file and everything works fine until I run out of RAM. You will know when that happens because it's in the error logs
