I recently upgraded from Fedora 39 to Fedora 41, and have run into many freezing instances. I’ve been able to reproduce some of the steps that can cause Fedora 41 to freeze:
Typing ‘inxi -Fzxx’ on terminal and pressing Enter shows me system information, and immediately causes a freeze. The Caps Lock light is working, no mouse movement, mouse clicks are unresponsive.
Trying to open a .xlsx file using ‘Open With’ and clicking Onlyoffice causes a freeze. The Caps Lock light is working, mouse movement is responsive, mouse clicks are unresponsive.
Trying to run an .exe visual novel game using Bottles 51.15, runner wine-ge-proton8-26 causes a freeze. The Caps Lock light is working, mouse movement is unresponsive, mouse clicks are unresponsive.
Trying to open Krita 5.2.3 using ‘Launch using Discrete Graphics Card’ results in a freeze. The Caps Lock light is working, mouse movement is unresponsive, mouse clicks are unresponsive.
Here are results from journalctl -b

Yes, inxi -Fzxx | cat also causes a freeze. Caps Lock light is working, mouse movement unresponsive, mouse clicks unresponsive.
I did take note that the last line of the terminal returned a EGL needs more info and after that was the freeze.
Here are journalctl -b responses:

According to the output provided, you obviously have no Nvidia drivers installed. You should try installing the drivers from RPM Fusion, according to their HowTo. Take special attention to the part which indicates to wait for the kernel modules to get built (some 5 minutes), before restarting the system.
Once rebooted, verify if the crashes are gone, and post again the output of dnf list --installed "*nvidia*"[1].
With dnf5, it should be dnf list --installed, instead of dnf list installed, as suggested in my earlier post. ↩︎
This happens even when I launch bottles 51.15 with dGPU. Bottles itself doesn’t have any problem with launching and doesnt crash, it’s the .exe game I tried to run that shows me this error.
