I have moved from Windows 11 to Fedora 43 and I have been using it for a couple of months now. I have used previous versions of Fedora in the past, and I always loved it. But with Fedora 43, things have been very different and difficult for me.
Apps keep crashing for no obvious reason(App has stopped working. Force to Quit). NOT A SINGLE DAY PASSES WITHOUT ME HAVING TO FORCEFULLY SHUTDOWN THE LAPTOP MULTIPLE TIMES(and no, it is not an exaggeration). Just before writing this I had just shutdown the laptop because My Files, of all apps stopped working and the screen just froze. I thought VS Code was the problem since I am always on it and maybe the extensions were too much for the laptop, uninstalled the extensions, still nothing. I have a basic workspace: VS Code, Cursor, Firefox, Zen, Docker, and Chrome, that’s it.
But using the OS has been unbearable.
I have a 11th Gen Intel Core i3 x4 Lenovo laptop, 12GB RAM DDR4, 256GB NVMe
post the output from inxi -Fzxx (as preformatted text) so we can see the full spec of the machine, version of stuff in use and so on.
If you can, view the output from journalctl for the time of the last lock-up and see if there’s anything in there which gives any indication of something failing - there may not be anything though, given that if it’s a hard-lock the buffers may not be flushed to dump the smoking gun information to the journal.
Can you post the output from coredumpctl list | tail -n 20 to show the last 20 crashes. If this is (mostly|always) gnome-shell, can you also list what extensions you have installed.
It would be handy to get that exact error message from journalctl too, if possible, rather than an elided version. If this is a frequent error message which you notice appearing alongside crashes, output from journalctl for several of them would be useful to ascertain if there’s a pattern.
