Jan 23, 2022 at 2:17 comment added user1937198 Mild anecdote about sandboxing that I didn't think is important for the answer: A couple of years ago I ran into an issue where oracle java <=8 JREs with heavily loaded GCs running inside a linux cgroup cpu quota of less than 10% of the total core count of the system would experience >90ms lag spikes on the JRE, and ~10ms lag spikes across everything else on the system, due to an interaction between JRE GC thread count choices and how the linux cgroup handled cpu usage limitations. Sandboxing gets very complicated.
Jan 23, 2022 at 2:15 comment added user1937198 Personally, I have found linux is perticuarly bad with this issue due to the amount of the GUI that runs as plain userspace processes. Switching virtual console can sometimes help, but not always.
Jan 23, 2022 at 2:12 comment added SilverRain Thanks for the answer! If I alt-tab in those moments, generally it won't work, unless it was very early. The best thing for me to do is press the X-button and wait a few a minutes and that usually works.
