Hi all, sorry if I post this the wrong place.

I have a laptop running mint with qtile which sometimes freezes. To the point where nothing responds and I need to kill it. I’ve tried: sudo journalctl But I don’t get any information which helps me.

Can anyone help to debug it?

    I am assuming the problem is your ram runs out of memory. And Linux kernel’s OOM killer is too slow and doesn’t kill processes earlier. You have two options to try:

    • install earlyoom to kill processes earlier so the laptop doesn’t freeze
    • add zram to virtually double your ram

    or you can use both options to get the best of you laptop
