I haven’t quite pieced this together yet but it would seem that Fedora 41 Kernel 6.13.4 is causing hard freezes - potentially with using Flatpaks (which doesn’t make sense) or its some Mesa driver shenanigens.
I’m running a relatively vanilla setup, just wondering if others are seeing the same?

Does the freeze happen when you try to import something on to a flatpak app`?
I’m on tumbleweed and been noticing graphical corruption (blocky overlays) up until the point the system hard freezes.
Started a few days ago. Luckily rolled back to a previous snapshot and then locked linux-firmware-amdgpu package to prevent receiving the latest update again. The fault one was 20250222 IIRC, the one that works is 202502 something (an early Feb date).
Has been running fine since then, so maybe that was it.
I have also the kernel param set for amdgpu debugging, which has been mentioned in plenty of threads in this forum (I wonder when we can expect a fix to actually get rid of this workaround).
This is the one in talking about: Framework 13 AMD (7640U) randomly goes black and become unresponsive - #7 by jihem
TBH amdgpu on Linux is kinda bad, still very unstable.
There was a known issue with flatpak and filesystem sharing under 6.13. 6.13.5, currently on the way to testing, should address it.
Thanks for the headsup.
Seems like a massive clanger that this got through.
I’m impressed I was way off thinking it couldn’t be a flatpak issue, plenty to learn.
This was the the third strike for Fedora, its now on the naughty step and I’m using Cosmic DE on Pop OS! which is a spin of Ubuntu which is a spin of Debian… but hey… maybe Ubuntu’s conservative roll outs are more my speed right now.
