I'm not sure what Linux does, but I'm glad Windows does not do that. Building a kernel on Linux would bring down my machine's interactivity to zero, even the mouse pointer would stop responding and this isn't even like two/three decades ago - this was in 2014 and I've never since touched the pile of crap that Ubuntu is.

Not sure what was wrong, but that doesn't happen on any Linux system I have ever used. Then again I've never been an Ubuntu fan. Maybe they had some incredibly bizarre settings. Also seems like it could have been a driver problem.

  I've had similar issues on multiple distros and boards over the years, easily replicable with any sort of intensive disk load. It's not one specific issue (as the underlying bugs get fixed and change over time), but simply that there are lots of little deadlocks in the IO subsystems. There are workarounds and kernel flags to help mitigate things, but no one should have to do that for a daily driver.
