+- systemd-oomd is enabled by default. Depending on which systemd units have
+  `ManagedOOMSwap=kill` or `ManagedOOMMemoryPressure=kill`, systemd-oomd will
+  SIGKILL all the processes under the appropriate descendant cgroups when the
+  configured limits are exceeded. NixOS does currently not configure cgroups
+  with oomd by default, this can be enabled using
+  [systemd.oomd.enableRootSlice](options.html#opt-systemd.oomd.enableRootSlice),
+  [systemd.oomd.enableSystemSlice](options.html#opt-systemd.oomd.enableSystemSlice),
