Hello, Based on my testing, this appears to be a regression.
The random hard freezes occur on kernels 7.0.0-27 and 7.0.0-28. After booting into kernel 7.0.0-14, I have not observed the same hard freezes during equivalent usage. The hardware is unchanged (MacBookAir6,2, Intel HD Graphics 5000), so this appears to have been introduced between these kernel versions. I will continue testing and report back if I observe any freezes on 7.0.0-14. Thank you. Khaled > On Jul 20, 2026, at 4:10 PM, Alice C.
