minus-square@ditherwither@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•11 months agoIf 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)
minus-square@d3Xt3r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoJust 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.
