journalctl -u systemd-oomd.service -b

would be a good start. If you rebooted since uninstalling systemd-oomd,
please gather the logs from the most recent boot where the issue
occurred. E.g., if it was the previous boot, you could use `-b -1` to
specify that. Or, if it was two boots ago, you could do `-b -2`. See
`man journalctl` for details.

> Memory usage (before systemd-oomd removed) I don't have and I don't
really want to reinstall systemd-oomd just to show the memory usage
increasing

Without this, there's not a clear way for me to investigate your issue.
I (and many others) run systemd-oomd without this issue.

oom-process-killer-in-ubuntu-22-04

This does not say anything about systemd-oomd *causing* increased memory
usage. This is about systemd-oomd *killing* processes with high memory
usage, as it is designed to do. We had issues with it being too
aggressive in the past, which is what that and other reports are about.

Title:
  systemd-oomd package causes iconstant increase in memory usage

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The memory usage was constantly increasing (starting at approx 6GB and rising 
to at least 15GB and eventually the OS hung, my guess it being that it ran out 
of RAM even though I was doing nothing except refreshing Firefox tabs. I'm 
running Noble (upgraded from 2022 LTS) on a 16GB Ryzen box, I found a AskUbuntu 
report which stated that the problem is the system-oomd package, Initially 
someone suggested stopping the oomd service but that eventually failed top work 
and the current solution is to remove the system-oomd package. I've done that 
and the memory glitch has gone away so the RAM usage is staying constant at 7GB.
  IMO this is a serious errorand will put off Ubuntu newbies.
