I have a dell Inspiron 7573 2 in 1. 4k screen with hybrid graphics Intel/Nvidia mx130 My laptop doesn’t support LVFM on Linux. So, for the SSD I had to get into Windows and update, but it doesn’t matter since I’ve replaced it with this one. Bios is latest since I’m able to update through a thumb drive. It’s the new nvme drive that doesn’t like btrfs. It’s working flawlessly now on ext4. Nvidia installed and all. Zero issue. I’ll be missing out on snapshots, but oh well
I’ve noticed this for a long time, but never really cared. Also, on some accounts, it just removes my comment completely until I manipulate it to not piss off the gods
I used timeshift. I don’t remember if the freeze happened before or after I used it. The whole point of me using btrfs is to use timeshift and snapshots. I was never able to figure out snapper
Sda was the old drive that I already removed. If has a lot of cycles and it is about to die pretty soon. The new one is nvme and shows as nvme in the system. Not sure where to change those things from sata to whatever works.
Running ext4 on both home and root partitions fixed the issue completely for me WITH Nvidia installed and envcontrol to switch between Intel and Nvidia. The issue is gone. Poof. System is solid AF now. Btw, gnome has gotten so sexy lately. Haven’t tried it in a long time.
I highly doubt it’s a distro issue. I’ve tried both endeavourOS and fedora. Two totally different distro distros with two different DEs. Literally the same exact thing. I honestly suggest that you back up your system and switch from btrfs to ext4 and see if that works. Just to investigate.
