Description

I downloaded https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyDesktop/releases/tag/v0.0.14 for Linux x64.
I extracted the gz archive.
I ran ./nw (I'm guessing that's what I'm supposed to do?)
There was a warning printed to the console (can't remember what, and am not running it again to find out)
My screen became unresponsive, and 50 seconds later my whole system rebooted.

I'm using Linux Mint on a reasonably high spec Dell laptop (Core i7, 8G RAM) which is stable and has never crashed like this.
Is there anything from any system logs you want me to paste here?

Research direction

Start with the v0.0.14 Linux x64 release and the ./nw entry point described in the report. Reproduce the launch on Linux, capture the console warning and relevant system logs, and compare the result with the reported screen freeze and reboot. Done means the cause is identified and the launch no longer makes the system unresponsive or reboot.
