New install crashes a bit after logging in

Support
1

I installed Manjaro on the reccomendation of a friend, this is my first OS besides Windows. It seems to crash minutes after logging in. No idea what could be causing it since, well, I literally just installed it from a windows install. Its on an HP Laptop, would need to find out exactly what model though.

*It’s the KDE variant of the OS.

You probably created the Live Media to an USB then installed it, or did you “installed” via WSL = Windows Subsystem for Linux? Check this:

And share that information.

3

Got it. Yeah, flashed a USB and installed via live media.

4

Update, seems to have stopped for a good while, but then stsrted doing it once again, now it takes even less time to freeze. Only thing ive done is install wine during that time.

5

Maybe go with a swap file or install zram-generator
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/swap

6

Alright, I’ve installed it. I need anything else? Or just wait it out and see if its fixed yeah?

7

yes, see if the issue comes up, watch how memory and swap fill up before the crash or hang.
if all goes fine, then probably swap helped.
