Hello @curieos, your symptoms read like there might be a video driver issue. It might be interesting to test a newer mesa version from a PPA like oibaf or kisak-mesa. Also, if possible, it would be interesting to know if you are able to SSH into the system after the freeze and see if a system log or dmesg has any hints, then share your findings here and with your video driver vendor.

Oh, I should've mentioned the freeze is temporary. It doesn't last more than 10 seconds normally, but it's a whole system freeze. I'll try updating the drivers.

[curieos]

Despite installing the PPA and running an update, it doesn't seem to want to install the newer version. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong..

Nevermind, found a solution to this. The Pop_OS PPA has a higher priority, and so it goes with the mesa drivers from that instead of the PPA I added for newer drivers. Found a reddit thread if anyone finds this in the future.

[curieos]

Unfortunately it is still crashing on kisak-mesa.

Just in case it was some jank with my install, I refreshed my install, and even updated to Pop!_OS 22.04, and it still freezes and crashes.

I tried again with the oibaf PPA, I think it's fine now? It didn't freeze at all this last run, though it got cut short.

Nevermind, it still freezes on the newer Mesa. Do I need to say something elsewhere to get this fixed?
