I used to limit my WSL to 4GB of memory, I increased it to 8GB, and it still fills it up, and the swap, causing a huge disk load, making the whole computer extra slow, and the VS Code window becomes unresponsive. Often I either have to kill VS Code, sometimes the WSL itself.

It's so bad it became unusable. And honestly, 8GB for an editor? This is a joke.

I have had enough of their bullshit and want to find a new vendor. What is everyone using for cloud scale logging and monitoring these days that isn't one of Splunk (cost prohibitive), Sumo-Logic (Also assholes), or Datadog?
