So I don't understand why this is happening but after the fix for the "Unable to do an update", it would freeze from time to time

General Help

Now obviously, I am not saying that it is anyone's fault. I am just stating the events.

Anyhow, an or two pass and suddenly it began freezing every 20 to 30 minutes or so for 10 to 20 seconds. Naturally I ignored it because this has been my experience as a Windows user for years, unfortunately though I decided to game and then study for a bit and it slowly became annoying. And so I humble have come once again to request assistance.

Also link to my previous post if needed for whatever reason: Unable to do an update - #14 by KostisPlayz

So, Your System freezes now? Is that correct?

Yeap.

You could test if it helps to switch to Xorg if you are running on Wayland or the other way round. Logout and at login screen click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There you can switch between Xorg and Wayland. Then login with your password and test if it makes a difference.

You wrote, that this also happened in Windows. Did you had no freezes in Zorin before?

Windows freezing experience has been a thing for me since 2017 through multiple laptops and PCs. As for Zorin, I only started very recently, the freezes began after my previous post.

I have now switched to Xorg, I will let you know id it fixes anything. If you wish for me to post my specs, then I'd be happy to do so.

Hi. Yes, please do so if you still have troubles.
Do you have any Nvidia or AMD GPU ? (video card)
Drivers enable ?

7

It's all AMD.

8

you will find something like "about" in settings or from the "shell", you can give the specs then. Unfortunately, i don't know much about AMD ...

I'll just use Mission Center.

AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Processor
DDR5 32GB Kingston
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
Samsung NVMe M.2 970 EVO Plus

eventually, the problem is solve, isn't it ?

Maybe a newer Kernel could help. You could try it with the Liquorix Kernel, but that only works with disabled Secure Boot.

To add the PPA, open the Terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:damentz/liquorix

then make a

sudo apt update

and then install the Kernel with

sudo apt install linux-headers-liquorix-amd64 linux-image-liquorix-amd64

When the Kernel is installed, reboot and choose on Startup at the GRUB Menu the Option ''Advanced Options'' and there the one with the Liquorix Kernel (without Recovery Mode).

Hi,
I'm interesting about feedbacks with Liquorix Kernel in Zorin especially for gaming, do you use it you're self ?

13

I use it, yes. But I don't play Games on PC. But for the common Desktop Usage, I can say that I didn't had any Problems with it. Installing went well and the System runs well, too.

Can you mesure advantages compare to default kernels ?

15

For that, the normal Desktop Usage might not be the right Scale. There would be better when using the System a bit more intense as I do.

The only Experience, I have made is that I have less Micro Stuttering.
