Here are some more thoughts on top of trying emacs-pgtk from sid:- Maybe actually it's only your compositor that is hanging, not actually the whole system. Can you SSH back into your own system from another one?
No, my laptop is my only device where I have a keyboard and screen attached.
- If it really is hanging the whole system, use ulimit or some systemd mechanism to impose resource limits on Emacs, so that it can't make the entire system hang. - In either case, try to get gdb attached to it, and interrupt it, to try to find out what code it's in when it happens. I.e. try to get a backtrace. etc/DEBUG in src:emacs has some good information.
Let me try emacs from sid for some time and if that doesn't hang anymore, let's assume the issue got fixed. If not, I pursue these routes. Please be aware that I only used gdb before with explicit instructions on what to do, I'm not experienced with it at all.
