I’ve been using Manjaro on a Xenon desktop for 2/3 months now. I have experience random freezes for some time - perhaps a week or two. Nothing majors has changed that I can think of. I’ve found a few other topics on similar-ish issues. It used to be a dual boot Mint/Manjaro but I now I only have Manjaro. This may be the only major change I can think of.
I noticed I have been running on kernel 5.9, I downgraded to 5.4 at this seems to have fixed other’s issues. Some mentioned perhaps graphic cards drivers may be the issue, so I have changed from the nouveau to the non-free drivers. As this is a random issue, hard to tell if it worked - will be watching for a few days & get back on updates as to wether or not it has worked.
Any thoughts on other things I could check? journalctl logs but I couldn’t find obvious reasons for the reasons (though I’m not super experienced in navigating those logs to be honest).
EDITS based on comments:
- Freeze is immediate during light task/nothing special happening. Could be browsing, could be writing something on a textpad, etc. Haven’t noticed any specific action/action type that triggers it. Doesn’t seem related to heavy usage
- Not linked to memory usage/ram maxed out etc (few things actually running). Could be after restart or if I haven’t restarted in a while.
- I have 32 go of ram at any rate, and rarely do anything that really pushes me close to that limit.
- I can’t do anything once it freezes. Has to force a hard reboot. Absolutely nothing seems to have any sort of impact.
