Blender system crash

Issues & Assistance
1

Hello,
I have problem with blender crashing itself and system, whenever I use certain tool.
I don't know if anyone here is familiar with blender guru, but I'm doing his doughnut tutorial, and everything goes fine up until I use the 'selection' tool, then not only blender freezes for few seconds but after that whole system stops working, black/blank screen appears and nothing works. Is this to do with low memory? My laptop is more than 10 years old...

First reboot, than check the minimum requirement for Garuda .
I am sorry to say, your hardware is to weak for Garuda.
And this plus Blender kill your system.

:wink:

Ah, ok, thank you :smiling_face_with_tear: I guess it's go back to win then, or maybe other linux?

I have Spiral Linux on an old, low-resource machine and it runs great. I chose the Cinnamon spin, smooth and nice.

Is this the wrong link by mistake? Don’t get me wrong, I love the donut! :yum: :doughnut:

With my old os, win7, blender used to work but only 2.8 ver? or 2.9, definitely not the 3.0 one, so far didn't had much problem with garuda, but I'm using it only month or so., so maybe problems will show up later, if I try to use more programs. Anyway I guess I'll check other linux distributions or try to save for new laptop, or go back to win :scream:
Thanks

I would check if your machine will take more ram blender will work with that cpu but will be slow.The more you do with blender unfortunately the better hardware you need(trust me) :smiley:

Mind you, Garuda, especially Dragonized, is one of the heaviest Linux distros out there but it doesn’t even compare with Win 10/11.

Yes, I was thinking of buying more ram, but then again it's 11 years old laptop not sure if it makes sense even, it's probably better to buy new one

I was sticking with win7 all this time, not a big fan of microsoft new policies with their os, I tried garuda mainly because I really like the way it looks :sweat_smile: and all this little effects, for me it's kinda refreshing from this all typical/boring windows looks/layouts, but it seems I need to go back to that :sob:
