I suspect this is causing my gnome desktop to crash :(

This is an interesting one.
Are you running a heavy process like spark or you have a special machine?

You can increase the number of open files (you might need to).

I'm not running any heavy processes nor do I have any special machine.
I'm running on Fedora 38.
