Does it happen with all games or GL engagement, or just the heavier ones?

What’s your memory util?

Does your machine use swap when gaming?

Are you overclocking your memory or CPU freq?

Check my second point and link.

You probably have a conflict between your power profiles and gnome settings.

Do you already have the power profile selector in your gnome panel in the top-right menu? Try switching to balanced or performance and see if it stops.

If that doesn’t help, check this out.

Not necessarily. Your OS and config may only support certain sleep states in combination with your motherboard and hardware.

I’m not seeing any swap space, so that could be it. Check this post out.

It could also be that your BIOS settings for suspend/resume aren’t set to something compatible with your existing config as well though, if the above doesn’t work, or you’re not comfortable with that level of interaction, check your BIOS first, then try the above maybe.

Is your root partition encrypted?

Give the output of lsblk if you could.

Check their Refurb store.

Framework

Framework. Check the refurbs shop and get a great deal.

Stay away from Chromebook anything unless you get it for free.

Yeah, I’m just giving you a rub because of the assertion. “Less likely to break” is more where my mind is.

“impossible to break”

Then why have rollbacks as a feature 🤣

The Snap bloat alone is going to blow through that memory and storage real quick.

Fedora+Xfce is probably what you want.

I think hate is a strong word. It can be a pain when admin’ing machines that get a rule introduced that breaks something that previously worked, but I think most people never even realize it’s there.

M5 paper might be something you’re interested in.

I believe it’s all in the CSS of gnome-shell.css

Some explanation

“&” is a bash operator to background a process. It’s not the filename.

Bit of a different direction here: if this is a well known brand, replacement keyboards can be dirt cheap, and are super easy to replace. Big refurb.and used space for these parts as well.

It was not. Seems to load now.

• AMD drivers are built-in, so no issues there.
• Don’t know what “JBL” is
• Gmail is web-based

Everything else is fine. Shouldn’t have any issues.

I think providing a list of those applications might be a first step 😉
