From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results...

fsck / btrfs --check --repair fsck from util-linux 2.40.4 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand 'check'.

Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol

X870 RX9070 XT Ryzen 9800X3D

Thanks in advance

What do you mean by "green screen of death"? Is there any text or something you can transcribe or screenshot for us?

No text or screen shot possible, screen is just solid green mouse and keyboard do nothing. Have to do a hard reboot.

Which version of bazzite did you download? Do you get the installer to boot?

[–] Necroscope0@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Yeah everything boots and is installed and works great. Games, discord, everything works. It's just that randomly the screen goes solid green and I have to hard reboot. It happens about once every 7 or so hours usually I would say.
