what to do if the system may freeze while playing?
what to do if the system may freeze while playing? and doesn't meet at all in many games regardless of their system requirements (my laptop meets the system requirements of most games)
not during the game the system works stably
Problems with this are found in Port Proton, Lutris and Heroic Game Launcher

Maybe your cpu or gpu cooler is broken and cpu and gpu overheat

on other operating systems this is not the case

there is a theory that programs take up all the RAM and this is a relation, but I'm not sure
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
That is possible but not so likely in such a system. If you have lower than 8 gb ram then swap might kick in and it is no different than system freezing.
Since this is Cinnamon i have another theory about freeze that i had on such a system. Games that runs above 60 fps were freezing my system.

So what you have to test is locking games to 60 fps/enabling vsync mitigates the issue or not
Eventually moved to KDE and then Arch Linux because Mint guys were like "meh, doesn't happen for everyone so we don't care"
deep-jadeOP•3y ago
So the gap in cinnamon?
fascinating-indigo•3y ago
By gap you mean "fault/mistake" for me it was
On the same Mint system switching to KDE eliminated the issue
I've tested with KDE Plasma on same system, using Kubuntu's KDE backports ppa. Everything runs fine there. So it is a Cinnamon/Muffin issue.Test games with vsync/locked to your screen refresh rate If your system doesn't freeze when you do it, then it is the same issue If not, something else

Same in gnome
Sometimes when you press win button it freezes
Only power off button hold helps
Os is linux mint too
