When starting up stream and along side a game, it will sometimes make every application crash and unresponsive then the OS will lock up, any reason why this happens?

Can't comment on the cause, but I've found a workaround for this by launching steam from the terminal. I suppose that the gnome launcher calls a different version or uses some specific parameters.

I'll check it when I'm less lazy (hmmm)

    Would like not to use the terminal, I try my best to stay away from it at all cost
