  • Linux victim: "it freezes regularly"

    "But while using Chrome, LibreOffice, looking through image folders, and
    other simple tasks it freezes regularly."

    Notice the title says "Solved" but the last post by the Linux victim
    indicates it definitely was NOT solved.

    Meaning the moderator dishonestly "solved" the freezing issue to make
    Linux Mint look better.

    I had freezes in Ubuntu, but I don't recall experiencing them in Mint. Of course, since Mint is based on Ubuntu, it's a possibility.

    If the date on that post weren't from August, I'd suggest that it might be related to an old kernel in which fTPM issues aren't yet bypassed. Since
    it's recent, it's quite possible that he's facing a memory issue.

    That's not what I see.

    I see that they should have a tag for "moved" instead of "solved".

    I wonder how many of these people who blame Linux (and Windows for that matter) for shutting down have done RAM diagnostics, or reseasted their RAM chips.

    Honestly? Probably none. Of course, most of these people have no idea that buying RAM from a decent manufacturer will make a difference, same with a decent motherboard or power supply. Back when I worked in a computer store
    in 1999, it was hard for people to wrap their heads around the possibility that an ASUS motherboard might not only be more stable than the default
    one from Chink-O-Tron or whatever the brand was, but that it might offer better performance.
