Hi guys!
I recently installed manjaro gnome on an old windows tablet I have.
Despite the low ram and generally low power of this machine, almost everything worked very well out of the box.
I’m experiencing random freezes though: it doesn’t seem to be a specific application or process that causes the system to freeze and it doesn’t happen very often either. The tablet still suspend and wakes up if I press the power button but I can’t login or even safely reboot, the only option I have is an hard reboot. Another curious thing is that even though I can’t interact with the desktop at all, the clock and battery indicator still work fine, as if they’re not affected by it.
I’ve looked up other threads in the forum but they focus on other desktops or are related to nvidia drivers so they don’t apply to me and I don’t have the necessary troubleshooting skill to figure it out myself.
Wat can be the problem here?
here’s my inxi -Fazy, tell me if you need anything else

ps: I know 2 gigs of ram it’s not the best for gnome, but I intend to use this pc for manly reading documents, pdf and light browsing so I didn’t want to go through the pain of configuring KDE to work well with the touchscreen (still my favourite DE nonetheless XD)
