Its the strangest thing, as it just started recently. I'm honestly not sure if it freezes or my touchpad somehow gets disabled. I'm wondering that because most of the time it happens, my dell xps laptop isn't under any sort of heavy load. Its strange. Idk know where to start or what commands would help you guys help me?

I've spent hours before trying to make sense of logs lol but I just don't quite understand the info. Its gotta be some sort of conflicting software or something. I'm always trying new things, so I take full blame for this issue most likely lol. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

See if you can replicate the problem. You're trying to see if it's specific to your OS install, or if it's something more ingrained.

Ahh I gotcha. Its most likely caused by me, NGL. I've been trying to experiment and explore a bit with computing and networking and the likes, so I probably have something conflicting or broken. I mean I've seen plenty of errors using journalctl right after a hard reset so that I could go backward from there, but none of it makes sense. Do you know anything about log analyzers? But then again analyzers can overcomplicate things too ala netdata lol I set that up and holy god I didn't know what I was looking at lol I also have suspicion that mullvad might be playing a role in this. But again its difficult for me to put pieces together with limited knowledge about logs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
