[β] ditherwither@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) If you are low on memory, a fork bomb still works I can confirm that it crashed my laptop running fedora 36 (this was a while ago lol) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] d3Xt3r@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Just tested and confirm it doesn't work on Fedora 38. When you run it, you get an error saying: bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable. It still does the loop, but doesn't slow down the system or anything, and you can easily close the terminal window. As I said before, systemd imposes cgroup limits per user so fork bombs no longer work. permalink fedilink source parent
