Description
... even if there are more than 2gb ram left. The issue leads to a system crash. Had to reduce my swapiness level from 60 to 10 to slow the issue down. I noticed the same issue with the snap-version, but the flatpak-version runs smoother.

Research direction
No repository files or tests are identified. First reproduce Spotify on Ubuntu 20.04 with 4 GB RAM and 2 GB swap, comparing the snap and Flatpak versions as reported; capture memory and swap behavior and confirm whether changing swappiness affects the crash. Done would require a reproducible, project-actionable finding.
