Garuda Linux KDE Freezing Issue

I am Using My Pc Which Has Garuda Linux Kde Dragnonized Installed In It...

I am facing os freezing problem with my pc After Updating It..

I am facing this same problem in my second pc too which has garuda gnome installed and i have seen many other users are also facing this same issue with garuda....

So This Is My Humble Request To Team Garuda Linux To Check This Issue ASAP..

Thank You Regards

Appearently linux-tkg causes freezing for some people so I would suggest trying if another kernel solves this issue (linux-lts for example) :slight_smile:

I have made many varied suggestions for users experiencing freezes on recent editions. Frankly I’ve lost count of all the suggestions I’ve made to this point, and I have no intention of repeating the suggestions all over again.

If you have, as you’ve stated “seen many other users” with this issue, you must have read many threads on this topic. If that is the case, then I would assume you must have tried all the suggestions put forth as possible solutions. To troubleshoot any problem forum assistants must know all the troubleshooting procedures that have been tested to try and find a solution to any issue.

I have to this point probably made at least a dozen different suggestions (minimum) on various threads regarding this issue. You claim to have read these other threads, yet you list none of the suggestions you have implemented to correct your issue that were given in these “many” other related topics.

To correct any problem users are experiencing with the distro users must provide valid data points to the projects devs.

You provide your system specs, but other than that you give zero helpful information that might actually be useful in resolving this issue.

Please list all steps you have taken from my (and others) various suggestions to cure this issue from past posts on the Garuda forum.

Itemize your list of attempted fixes so that we may analyze all the information and cross reference it with others attempts to correct this issue to hopefully find a solution.

In the Linux world the user is the one expected to troubleshoot their own issues and report the findings to hopefully allow a bug to be identified and resolved.

One suggestion I’m not sure if I’ve made recently is to boot into your fallback kernel from the grub boot menu. This has helped me about three months back back when Garuda was freezing. An update corrected whatever bug was causing the issue within a short period of time. Switching kernels sometimes was helpful in this case as in many other cases where a system freeze occurs.

Another suggestion I don’t think I’ve made regarding this issue is to test different I/O schedulers in combination with different kernels to resolve freezing issues. I found this worked as a solution in the past, but eventually I determined it was one specific hard drive that was causing this problem. The hard drive passed all tests, but when the drive was disconnected the freezes went away. It may have been an issue as simple as having non Unix compliant file names on the drive. So, disconnect all non boot drives and other peripherals to eliminate any non essential hardware as a cause. Also, perform the long test on your ram to rule that out as a possibility.

Looking forward to reading your detailed report on your attempts to correct your issue.

You have a 2018 BIOS. Is there a more current one available from the manufacturer?

I always start at that point when troubleshooting hardware. As far as I'm concerned, it makes no sense to go any further if a newer BIOS is available but not installed. It's a very good place to start IMHO, since BIOS updates are intended for hardware support.

Does Updated Bios Depends on os performance :thinking::thinking: I Don't Know About It Brother'

Thank You Brother​:grin::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
