What kind of hardware do i need that vscode doesnt hang up all 5 minutes on linux ???? Isnt a one year old i7 and 32gb of ram enough ? WHY
I fkin hate it -_-

Works flawless on windows with 8gb ram.

You probably fucked your Linux

Sounds like you might have a gigantic project and some plugin that tries to make sense of it

Yeah I have the same issue, yet have 16gb ram and Intel i7 processor on my PC. I hear too many extensions can be problematic. I guess I need to act upon and clean up any old extensions I’m not using anymore.
Could that be the issue you’re having too?

I have 8 gigs and an i3 and vscode runs fine, it’s probably the project you’re trying to open

Check your HDD usage ... If is on the top some extension try to cache lot of shit for auto completion

The project is set up today, the os is installed yesterday and i have no extensions installed
Is this maybe related to my very weak graficcard ?

But thanks to all for your replys :*

Try disable hardware acceleration by launching with the flag below.

# code --disable-gpu

MS fucked up recently and all there electron based apps went to hell.

Vscode is alright (as far as an electron app can be anyway) but the million and one plugins you have to install to get it to do anything useful are often of... questionable quality shall we say. I'd start there when looking for issues.

If you don't got a NVMe ssd you should buy one immediately. Most of the the time, disk is the real bottleneck

There are tons of possibilities to debug what uses the resources and why.

How about debugging it instead of being angry about something unknown?

Ya not using something that powerful and it works fine
Either an extension is fucking up or some dependent lib is fucking up

Doesn’t sound like a corrupted bin
That wouldn’t cause a freeze I’d think
Sounds like a resource wait or a frozen system call or some sort by one of its libs

@IntrusionCM technically this is a vent your frustration thingsmajigher
