System Configuration
OS: Fedora 41
Kernel: 6.11
Note: I’ve avoided newer kernels (6.12, 6.13) due sluggishness and performance issues which are also consistent in other distros such as ubuntu
Issue Description
I’m experiencing complete system freezes requiring forced shutdowns. The system was previously stable for months with this configuration.
Timeline
Initially: Freezes began last weekend, occurring specifically when starting Shadow of the Tomb Raider (Flatpak Steam installation) and clicking “Continue” to enter the game
Current situation: As of today, freezes now occur during normal browser usage without any games running
Freeze Symptoms
System becomes completely unresponsive
TTY switching doesn’t work
Mouse cursor moves, but nothing else responds
Audio keeps playing for some time
SSH connections still work during freezes
Attempted to kill processes (game, browser, gnome-shell) via SSH without success
Logs
I’ve collected the following diagnostic information:
As Zoe helpfully mentioned, there have been some growing pains with some of the more recent Linux kernels and mesa versions. We’re actively working on finding some of the exact causes and getting fixes in place.
At the moment, a fully up to date Fedora system with kernel 6.13.5 or greater seems to be a good place for AMD’s mobile platforms. You may similarly have good luck with the Ubuntu version of kernel 6.11 present in 24.04.2 or 24.10. To make a complicated story short, Ubuntu’s kernels are not the same as the mainline kernel and are often heavily customized, including fixes from newer versions.
I would recommend getting yourself onto kernel 6.13.5 or newer as a starting point, potentially roll back MESA to major version 24 for now if issues persist.
mesa is under rapid development as it is a core part of many operating system, dramatic performance between major versions is expected. same goes for the kernel, and regressions is possible.
