My Ubuntu laptop is just fine apart from every now and then randomly pausing and not accepting user input for a minute or so at max CPU. Seems to be maybe Chrome related, so that's maybe the next thing for me to try to migrate off after Windows.

Is it an extension doing it or low ram? Never happeneds to me on skylake thinkpad even with 8GB ram, just slow to open.

Quite difficult to debug as system is unresponsive when it happens, so would have to delve into logs. Maybe a Chrome memory management or graphics acceleration issue, I don't use many extensions but it's possible I guess. 12GB of RAM, but that can get eaten up by Chrome pretty easily.

I use ungoogled chromium, try the flatpak, new binary doesn’t work in Ubuntu, works great for me. Try with them all off and turn them on one by one.

It reminds me of an issue with the gsconnect GNOME extension. They apparently fixed it. I reinstalled it today and it seems OK.
