    When I started hitting OOMs I just downloaded free ram.

    (Modifying my zram-generator config to use 1.5x my ram size instead of the measly 4GB – uncompressed – default. Seriously it’s worth looking into, though default depends on your distro)

      Can’t you just add swap?

      I think you can run some apps purely on swap and keep your ram for vscode only

        zram is swap on ram, it works by compressing parts of the ram when you run low and it’s much faster than traditional disk-based swap.
