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.

I also installed it on two machines now and really like it. But I have exactly the same freezing issues. I already increased my zram swap to 8GB (having 32GB RAM), but long running idle games still freeze the whole system after a while. Could be a memory leak. I also tried to tweak the config so that applications are automatically closed when on low RAM, but that still didn't help yet.
