OOMKiller... in most cases where it has killed things, i feel it would’ve been far better to just let the system slog along and spill onto disk instead of killing the process outright, or as the article says killing the wrong process like it always seems to do.

whenever this happens I have to reboot my system anyways because it becomes unuseable, e.g. it becomes impossible to type / move the mouse for >1 hour. between me hitting the hardware reset button of my computer (or sometimes the power plug on more modern userspace-based reset buttons) vs just killing a process, I know what I prefer

You know that's exactly what swap is right? You can enable swapping if that's the behaviour you want.
