Hi,
My system suddenly got very unresponsive. Had to restart (power button), it is unresponsive immediately after booting.
Luckily I had a Timeshift image I took, restored it and worked fine… then again it happened, and restored the same image. Tried to find a solution, but not really convincing for me it’s about swap as it was unresponsive just after boot!
Here is my system:

Out of curiosity I noticed something about locale at the beginning and about swap.
It is working fine now after latest Timeshift restore.
NB: I am bilingual and have both languages on keyboard working as expected.
I am keeping all interfaces in English.
What might be the problem? What can be done to avoid having this issue in the future?
Thanks a lot.
EDIT:
Just to update you.
sudo locale-gen
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Seems to sort out the locale thing
Now, I have:
