Good day people!
I am new to the community, please let me know if I have made any mistakes in putting up this new topic. I have browsed through many topics that is similar to my issue here, yet none have conclusive solution. I will list out the context and problems regarding my current situation with the hopes that someone may be able to shed some light onto it 
. Once again, as a newbie (in the world of Linux and Fedora), my truest apologies if I were to make any mistakes in formatting, issue declaration, etc. Any feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
Context
I have recently decided to install Fedora 41 Workstation onto a free partition on my disk (SSD), which effectively makes this a dual-boot setup (with Windows 11 as its roommate.) After a few surprisingly easy-to-set-up steps, I managed to get it running smoothly, install updates, extensions, run a few more system updates suggested by GNOME ‘Software’ app, and it is all settled. I have also meddled with Bottles, managed to run a few games and software on it with no problems. While there were some hiccups, they were not too severe (nothing that the system can’t fix by itself.)
The Problem
Lately (3-4 days), I have started noticing random (yet disruptive) freezes on the desktop environment. The closest one was yesterday (01/01/2025), around 14:12:00, to which I have managed to capture a journalctl -b results (shared in this pastebin source .) This is a truncated result recording logs from the system ~30 minutes prior to the freeze/crash up to my hard reboot where the system starts running again.
I looked through them and saw that other than Flatpak’s Spotify constantly crashing and Bottles throwing some logs (that I do not yet understand), there was nothing of note to me. I do wonder if someone can share any insights into this matter?

Recent possible problematic modules/apps I have installed recently:
- Bottles & Wine
- BTRFS Assistant (where I attempted to create a default config and a first snapshot using snapper)
- Flatpak’s Spotify (which has been crashing recently)
Any help/insight is appreciated! Please let me know if there is any further info I can provide!
