My Debian 12 all of a sudden started freezing up on me. any kind folks that can help troubleshoot?
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.

Can you post the output of
uname -a?uname -a 75xx 6.1.0-10-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.38-2 (2023-07-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Gosh idk if that makes sense I'm taking pics of the output on my laptop with my phone and extracting the text, sorry for the ugly format lol
Hmm. Not as enlightening as I’d hoped. Did your laptop come with Debian?
Oh no, it came with windows initially but I never used it. I've had this laptop for like 3 years I believe?
The fact that Thunderbolt is involved makes me wonder if it’s something to do with the Linux kernel not liking Intel’s thunderbolt implementation. At this point I’m reaching the limits of my know-how, so I don’t have much more to suggest
Hey I don't even own a thunderbolt cable, so I can always disable that in my bios. But I'm wondering, is there a specific log I should be looking at that would most likely give me some input? Idk which logs are for what and definitely don't know how to filter and manipulate the output to find what I'm looking for, but always willing to learn
I’m not sure where to find it if there is one
