I run Claude Code on an Ubuntu desktop and the whole machine locks up hard often enough that it has become a real problem. Not a slow session, not a crashed CLI: the entire system stops responding and the only way out is holding the power button. Specs: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Intel i9 128 GB RAM GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 It tends to happen when I run loops, but I have not nailed down a reliable trigger. Is this a known interaction between Claude Code and something specific (file watchers hitting inotify limits, node heap behaviour, MCP servers spawning runaway processes), or is it more likely my machine and Claude Code is just the heaviest workload it sees? submitted by /u/ThickDoctor007
