Hi everyone, I'm on a ThinkPad X220 with Linux Mint. OBS was functioning until recently. Now, whenever I try to launch it, the screen freezes instantly. The keyboard doesn't respond, the mouse stays stuck, and the caps lock light starts flashing. A search suggested this might be a kernel panic. Recently, I installed some low-level updates—firefox, Thunderbird, etc.—but nothing major like drivers or kernel patches. Everything else seems normal, so I'm curious about what could trigger this issue and if others have experienced it recently.
