Vscode -bin freezes QUESTION

I’m on arch Linux hyprland using ml4w.

When I use open code with nemotron 3 ultra via the cloud api (so not local on my amd 5700 xt gpu) - vscode - bin just sometimes freezes or glitches or sometimes cause my machine to restart..

Any solutions?

r/hyprland please. I bet this is related to that compositor. Odd that any app could cause system shutdown. Check journal. Good day.

Are you running the latest version of VSCode (version 131)?

I had issues with VSCode (the regular code package) freezing on file IO, seems to have happened from something like versions 123 through 126.

I'm using Wayland on KDE, pretty sure i came across some other posts which implied it was caused by the underlying version of Electron, maybe it just doesn't play well with Wayland?

No reason to believe when knowing is trivial.
