Hi i’m new to EndeavourOS and i haven’t had this issue before, just 3 days ago i still used Solus Linux on KDE Plasma and it wasn’t crashing or freezing just worked prefectly but now after switching to EndeavourOS it constantly gets stuck for like 20 seconds to 1 minute or just freezes so i need to click the reset button on my pc which hurts cuz’ i mostly create programs on my computer so my code is gone

Welcome to the community!

It’s possible that what you are experiencing is related to the Plasma 6 update or your installed kernel. Please take a look at the thread here for some tips.

Also, in a terminal, please run then post the output of

inxi -Fxxxz

Thanks For Your Help!, but it still didn’t fix the problem and at first i thought that my kernel would be doing that then so i tried updating from 6.6.23-lts to the 6.8.2 but it like could not update it with whatever method i tried

inxi -Fxxxz output:

Show us what happens if you run this command

sudo pacman -Syu linux linux-headers

i have the video on streamable.com so i’ll give you the link

and after rebooting it did nothing

You need to select the kernel on boot menu, as long as LTS one is default it will boot this one instead they persist side by side

I would suggest you update the UEFI Firmware (Bios) as yours is way out of date. Matter of fact there is a Beta version for 2024. Please read through the updates carefully as some versions require you to update to a certain version before you can update to it.

Hopefully I have the correct motherboard here:

Edit: Your current Bios version is:
American Megatrends v: P3.70 date: 11/14/2019

Edit: Best way to update is with instant flash following these instructions.

thanks it works i just needed to go to advanced options for endeavour OS in grub and there it was just linux-lts and linux and now i am on kernel 6.8.2 but i am still experiencing issues with stability one time i was playing a game with proton and my PC just rebooted randomly and after that i started playing again and it just turned off by itself

Everyone i have fixed it completely!,

  • it doesnt freeze or gets stuck anymore
  • the new kernel at first was a struggle for my pc but it got along with it
  • plus now its even faster with the 6.8.2 kernel and not the 6.6.23-lts

could you please mention how you solved the issue so others who come across the thread in the future can find the solution as well.

There have been a massive amount of updates on Kde lately. Did it just resolve itself with some of these new updated packages?
