Its the strangest thing, as it just started recently. I’m honestly not sure if it freezes or my touchpad somehow gets disabled. I’m wondering that because most of the time it happens, my dell xps laptop isn’t under any sort of heavy load. Its strange. Idk know where to start or what commands would help you guys help me?

I’ve spent hours before trying to make sense of logs lol but I just don’t quite understand the info. Its gotta be some sort of conflicting software or something. I’m always trying new things, so I take full blame for this issue most likely lol. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    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?

      Exactly the reason I think my next laptop is going to be one where repairability is a primary feature.

        Not a fan of the design at all… Well obviously now lol think they’ll eventually come loose off the motherboard and be useless. They’re almost there anyway. Maybe time to start planning for a budget, emergency system
