Ahh ok so you connect your laptop to the dock via thunderbolt? Thats sorta been the idea I've been thinking; just focus on first getting one great cable to link the laptop to a docking station
Ahh so dmesg pretty much only collects info regarding kernel crashes or whatever? Do they usually retain stuff from the prior day or two? I haven't used my laptop much today, so no new crashes
Right in the middle of a freeze right now, but the cursor still moves and the sound went muted. I'm pretty sure I saw errors before regarding pipe wire, pulseaudio, and I think another related program
Ahh I gotcha. Its most likely caused by me, NGL. I've been trying to experiment and explore a bit with computing and networking and the likes, so I probably have something conflicting or broken. I mean I've seen plenty of errors using journalctl right after a hard reset so that I could go backward from there, but none of it makes sense. Do you know anything about log analyzers? But then again analyzers can overcomplicate things too ala netdata lol I set that up and holy god I didn't know what I was looking at lol I also have suspicion that mullvad might be playing a role in this. But again its difficult for me to put pieces together with limited knowledge about logs
Hmm looks like I have kernel 6.1.10 or something? I did hardware scans through some bios tools and it all scanned fine, but I don't know how accurate those are...
Uhmm for the most part its random. It was much less frequent the other day but not it's happening more and more. And yup, tried all the CTL alt f1-all of them lol like I'm aware logs will probably give the best insight but I don't know much about which log and what it all means plus they're long as fuck. Maybe I should look into log analyzers?
Yes I think its power related due to the loose and/or possibly damaged USB c ports which are part of the motherboard of course... No cheap fix there. This laptop has been on a slow decline. If I just reinstalled Debian or any other distro, would it fix the issue or is it more likely a system issue that will follow me regardless?
