#LinuxHelp #Gentoo Anyone have any idea what would cause the system to start building kernels that aren't bootable? Following Duxsco's guide, I've been fine since December, but 7.0.2 was the last bootable kernel I've been able to build. The build operation seems to complete successfully, as far as I can tell.

hey yall, need some linux help here
I'm on Linux Mint 22.3. On around December 7, 2025 my desktop environment seemed to have frozen. Ever since then at least once or twice a month I get either one of three things:
-Desktop environment and mouse freeze up and do not recover, requiring a force restart
-System crashes with a green screen, requiring a force restart
-System just randomly restarts on its own
I suspected from the green screen crashes that it was my graphics drivers, so I added these to my kernel parameters: amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 amdgpu.gpu_recovery=1 which seemed to have fix it as I haven't gotten it since, but freezes and reboots still happen. It never happens under circumstances like playing video games or watching YouTube videos. It specifically happens when I'm just browsing the web normally. I'm unsure what is causing it. I checked if there's anything potentially causing overheating and there is not. I also checked journalctl and dmesg but those showed up with nothing. This did not happen under Windows 10 or Linux Mint for the few months until December 7, 2025. I do remember one green screen crash under EndeavourOS in 2024 when I first got this computer, but I haven't seen this problem again until a few months ago.
CPU is Ryzen 9 6900HX with integrated Radeon 680M graphics. Kernel 6.8.0-117-generic #linux #linuxhelp #linuxmint
This seems similar to a situation I encountered that I had attributed to a failing wifi adapter and solved by replacing the adapter. About the time kernel 6.4 was released I began getting periodic and intermittent freezes followed by a crash and reboot. I discovered that I was having a cpu going into deadlock that was the symptom of the freeze and crash. Eventually over some time I traced it down to the wifi repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting but it became apparent that those repeated ...
Got to keep my work laptop and just realised that I'm now free to ditch Windows and install Linux. It's a Thinkpad E14 gen 3 with AMD Ryzen 5, 16 gb ram and a 256 gb ssd. I dabbled with Mint a long time ago but consider myself a somewhat informed newbie, who now has the time to experiment and learn.
So I'm looking for tips and advice about which distro I should check out, what I should take into account and anything that can help me with this project.
Hey anyone running #GarudaLinux - I'm not but two of my friends are, and I have a couple of questions I was hoping could be answered.
One of them can't upgrade their system at the moment as librewolf can't resolve the dependency libvpx.so=11-64
The Other hasn''t been able use Blender for the last 2 months because Python is incompatible (apparently a function name changed to do with string manipulation)
Any advice on how I can help them fix this?

Je suis pas vraiment un foudre de guerre en bidouillage linux et c’est bien au-delà de mes cométences. Est-ce que qqun.e pourrait m’aider ?

[Edit: Solved!] I [had] a bizarre-ass #Bash #scripting problem. I'm at my wits' end.
I have a script that scans a directory and picks a random file from it. This script works just fine if I invoke it manually, from the command line in a terminal window.
But if I run it from the Linux Mint/Cinnamon menu (start menu, whatever), it hangs when it tries to list the files in the dir. Likewise when run from crontab (which is how I really want to run it most of the time). 🧵 1/4
