      Personally, I would be fine if GIMP had just said, “too many operations, shrinking Undo history” or something like that. No amount of optimization gets rid of this issue. At some point, the machine’s resources are just exhausted.

        Konsole has the option to set scrollback line count and an alternative “infinite” where it just writes to a file on disk.
        GIMP can also have that and can ask for which disk it wants you to use, so if you have a 20TB HDD to dedicate for that, might as well.

        In this case, the most recent 10 or so remain in RAM, while others only have a reference to it, in RAM.
