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.

So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results...

fsck / btrfs --check --repair fsck from util-linux 2.40.4 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand 'check'.

Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol

Your motherboard wouldn't happen to be an AsRock? There's been reports of ASRock mobos in particular causing problems with 9000 series AMD chips, especially the X3D. Mate of mine running windows has been having it crash especially when idle at desktop.

I'm not familiar with a green Linux equivalent to the BSOD. Is it completely green? In that case it may be a graphics problem...

Hrm, no MB is MSI. Graphics card is AsRock though, were there compatibility issues with them too? And yes, completely solid green screen. Speaker also humming and nothing to be done, a hard reboot is required

Like Hawke said it seems like the graphics card or driver crashing. Very hard to troubleshoot, especially when it's random. Bazzite probably already has very recent drivers, there's this post on the bad website listing some things to try. This stuff can lead to superstitious thinking, with people changing something, rebooting to have it work fine for a while then they post that change as if it fixed it.

God speed.

Thank you for this resource, now I have a couple more things to try before busting open the case and messing with hardware
