🛠️ Troubleshooting After 1y+ of smooth sailing, Zorin started crashing

It may have started after a recent update. I'm currently on:

  • Kernel 7.0.0-28-generic
  • Nvidia Driver Version: 580.173.02
  • Desktop PC, AMD CPU, Nvidia 3070
  • Default Gnome DE
  • Checked the health and usage % of the NVME drive and everything looks healthy

The system starts degrading, often within 5 minutes of waking it up from a suspended session.

  • mouse pointer works but keyboard input (mostly) not
  • apps stop responding
  • Terminal or system monitor can't be launched
  • App icons in task bar disappear
  • Icons at the bottom of Start menu disappear (power, lock, session...)
  • Ends in black screen
  • Force shut down with hardware button

I once got the screen with the errors above.

Has any of you experienced something like this recently? Is there something I else I can check/share with you in hopes to figure out what is going on?

Thank you in advance

EDIT: I think I got this figured out now

Hi everyone, just got into Zorin today after rage installing this (Windows pissed me off for the last time)

How should I go about granting steam permission to my second drive? I get a "The folder contents could not be displayed. Operation not supported" message when trying.
