I had a program sorta freeze up my system without apparently using much resources and its something I have seen a lot in windows and it not happening as much in linux but it does happen. That made me wonder if a system that isolated it more would prevent that. So I guess two questions. Im curious about any distros that isolate the non os programs more and also if anyone knows if this actually would stop what I see happening (my theory is maybe it makes some sort of micro ask for resources that bogs down the system but im not really sure why it happens or for sure which program did it.)
That can happen in any monolithic kernel OS. So basically you have two choices: a) Microkernel OS like Redox (still alpha) b) Hypervisor OS like Qubes.
Also check your RAM for errors maybe.
I see this often with the firefox memory leak and containerizing it wouldn’t resolve the issue, as it’s literally freezing due to running out of system memory. Try to make a distinction between a frozen app and a systemwide exhaustion of resources.
Fedora silverblue or another immutable distro maybe?
