since the latest full-upgrade three days ago on my laptop the computer
gets completely frozen sometimes, yesterday got frozen few times when
i tried to open zoom. today few times when i tried to open brave
browser. completely frozen, need to shut down and restart.
i'm running debian testing for three years on that laptop, dell xps
15, gnome desktop.
what can i do,check? i'm not so experienced, usually there are no
problems.
Three things I'd try (for diagnostic testing):
1 - log in as a different user; does that user have the same freezing
issues?
2 - log into a different Desktop Environment (Plasma, Cinnamon, etc);
does that DE have the same freezing issues?
3 - On boot, choose Advanced options; does that give you the ability to
boot into the last kernel you had before the upgrade? If so, select it;
does that option have the same freezing issues?
