    Ive also had some issues with the current kernel so im running the LTS one and have very few problems.

    I have just installed the LTS kernel: 4.9.205-147.lts
    It is kind of old, but if the problems will vanish, then I will stick with it.
    Thank you for these replies. I will write back tomorrow to report the progress.

    Been there, yes. The LTS kernel has solved all problems for me and only introduced one single problem: sometimes bluetooth mice can't connect. I just need to boot into the current kernel, connect the device and go back to LTS. Before I had lockups, boot failures, stuttering mouse pointers and programs under IO load etc... Now it's all good!

    PS: @aristotelis your discussion title is somewhat clumsily chosen imho. The people making Solus do that for fun in their spare time so it's a present given to us by them. We should be careful not give them the impression that we think they owe us anything.

      n2o There was no intention to offend the developers. I have tried to change the title.
      Apparently there is no way to do that...

          DataDrake changed the title to Constant Freezes on Solus .

          aristotelis fixed. Try to be a little more thoughtful next time 😉

          As others have suggested, Kernel 5.4 seems to be at fault for the moment and latest 5.3 seems to be working well.

              DataDrake Thank you for changing the title and replying to me. I will stay on LTS now that it seems that the constant freezes have gone and will try again with the current kernel when the bug will be fixed. Do you know if there will be an announcement?

                  Girtablulu With the 5.3 kernel my bluetooth works fine but the stutter problems are still there with I/O in the background. Staying on LTS.

                    Some more things that possibly matter: In the Budgie Desktop Settings, under Windows, I have deactivated "Attach modal dialogs to windows" and at the end I have also deactivated "Disable unredirection of windows". This has stopped some peculiar habits of Nautilus and other applications on the bottom panel.

                    Installing the LTS kernel also resolved issues I had with my fan since it would constantly come on with the 5.3 & 5.4.1 kernels while doing basic web browsing but remains silent with the 4.9 kernel.
