I was using Android Studio 2.3.3 on my machine(4 GB RAM, 64 bit). The Android Studio was working fine while writing code but when I launched the Emulator(Nexus 5) the OS froze completely(not even Keyboard and Mouse were working). I had to use REISUB to come out of the situation. I have never experienced anything like this before(It was the first time I launched the Emulator). Earlier I used to run Android Studio on Windows 10 on this machine but never faced such a problem. What should I do, should I stop using Android Studio on Ubuntu or is there an alternative?

According to the official documentation (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#Requirements):
- 3Gb RAM minimum for IDE and 1Gb more for emulator.
So I think that your system is short. So... how much RAM are you assigning to the emulator?
