My gpu is intel hd graphics 3000… and I use the video-linux driver…
after running my laptop for about 1.5-2.5 hours, my laptop freezes - theres nothing I can do… my mouse and keyboard doesn’t work when pc freezes. I always have to hard reboot it…
Someone told me to change my display server from wayland to xorg… What should I do!?

I switched to xorg… Im having no problem with that… Should I stick with that!?
You might want to increase your swapfile size to at least 5.5 GB. I would set swappiness to 10 so you’re not completely out of RAM when swapping starts.
Try it out and see. I’m not sure why you would be having issues with Wayland but not Xorg.
I have that swap file made of a hard disk, not ssd… and I dont go out of RAM even when swapping doesnt start. I always look my RAM and swap usage at htop…
But should I increase swappiness?? RAM is faster that hdd…that’s why I did set swappiness to 1.
Why Gnome uses wayland instead of xorg??
I am using Xorg as I was having some other issues with Wayland. but I am currently facing similar freezing issue.
@Yochanan I have 16 GB or ram and 18 GB of swap on an SSD ( I don’t know why I configured it this way!!) and my swappiness is set to 10 still my laptop freezes.
@rakin09 Take a look at this post if you have not done so already. “Hard Reset” can be damaging for your HDD.
for me, Alt + PrtScr
worked as the SysRq
key. Making the change in sysctl
did not work for me. I had to edit the /etc/default/grub
file.
