My system is freezing unexpectedly, and I'm not sure what's causing it. After the latest crash, checking the syslog gave this output before the freeze:

google-chrome.desktop[2620]: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: ...

I opened it and noticed the same issue. This was the last message before the system stopped working.

It seems to be a problem with Fontconfig loading, but I don't have more details. After the crash, resources looked normal, so it might have been a memory issue or something related to storage. Let me know if you need more help.

You're facing a problem with font selection on Linux. It seems the system is trying to use certain fonts but can't locate them because they're missing or not installed. The message suggests checking your Linux distribution, noting that Debian-based systems can use the debconf package to manage font choices.

Pop!_OS relies on Ubuntu, which is built on Debian. That's perfectly acceptable. The linked package is likely called "fontconfig," so you might want to reinstall it: Spoiler: sudo apt-get install --reinstall fontconfig
