Every once in a while, my laptop will slow to a crawl; moving the mouse is extremely laggy and there is no discernable reason; the only thing that I have tried so far that fixes it is rebooting.

RAM and CPU usage are both moderate to low when I check. There are a series of messages in journalctl saying “Refused to change power state from D0 to D3hot” but they appear even when this issue is not happening. There aren’t any other obvious irregularities, but I haven’t looked super closely yet.

I’ve only had the laptop for less than a month so I hope there’s no hardware damage already.

Anyone have thoughts as to what might be going on or debugging tips?

I believe this is 680M (Rebrandt) laptop randomly becomes very slow to update the screen (#3647) · Issues · drm / amd · GitLab. You can add amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 to the kernel command line as a workaround, at the cost of slightly worse battery life.

You’re on AMD and I’m on Intel, so take this with a grain of salt, but…

The entire 6.11 kernel series was probably one of the worst I can remember. Tons of random input lag and serious graphics issues. Try 6.12 with updated mesa 24.3 or later, things improved significantly for me once I got up to those versions.
