perhaps it is the way your system is set up. Indeed like 10y ago Intel did some sh*t and sold it bundled to outcome AMD and NVidea, but since then they improved and indeed there were issues back then. I think it is important to find the appropriate kernel version for your system - the one that has all the bits and bolts for your hardware. I doubt I will move to newer kernel. This one seems to have all the fixes at least for the hardware I am using now and especially the gpu part. I also had freezes few years ago and followed the kernel releases until 4.9.25. I also have cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf options i915 modeset=1 > But it's true there are some programs that are very prone to hang the > GPU when used, like Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Google Earth, KDE's > taskbar, Virtualbox... all of them use some kind of 3D acceleration well ... depends also on the middle layer, but I use TDE and even VM with 3D enabled does not cause freezes such that I had from time to time few years ago.
