Occasionally doing nothing or pressing the alt tab causes the desktop to freeze while other apps stay responsive. Restarting helps but it occurs in less than a few minutes, suggesting the desktop is frozen. On Windows, closing the task manager with ctrl+alt+del and then restarting can resolve the issue. The only workaround I know is using alt-f4 or alt-f2 to open the terminal, though the top bar doesn't react. It seems like something simple might be missing.

I saw on Reddit that Linux doesn’t accept the default BIOS settings on Ryzen for power-on idle, and the issue didn’t get resolved.
