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

Tell us more about what's happening, is the whole monitor turning green or just parts of it?

Does it stay green until you do something, or does it go away on its own?

Does it happen only with certain games or applications, or does it happen regardless of what's running?

And please for the love of fuck do not run any commands you don't personally understand, especially if it came from an "ai". Don't poison your brain (and the planet) with "ai" bullshit, please!

Solid green screen across the whole thing. The speaker starts humming the mouse and keyboard do not do anything and it does not resolve on its own (not within five minutes or so anyway). I have to do a hard reboot, then it works fine for the next 7-14 hours and then it happens again. Does not matter what I am doing. I have had it go green when I was reading plain text and not even touching the inputs.

This sounds to me like a hard drive/ file system issue. Don’t know how to fix it but if the mouse cursor doesn’t move, it’s usually a storage device issue

There is no cursor
