Did you manually update your kernel to 5.15 ? If so can you try downgrade back to say 5.13 ?
I did not manually update my kernel. I'm guessing that happened when I uninstalled the System76 power management stuff, I assumed it would bring me back to the original kernel (not that I understood it would install a different kernel in the first place), but apparently it installed another one.
I'm assuming the latest kernel for elementary OS is 5.13?
Right after I posted this I randomly found a way to consistently reproduce the locking, which was to visit this website, adding a picture using the purple button, and then waiting less than a minute.
That freeze is no longer happening, and the website works as expected, so I think this solved my freezing issue! Many, many thanks to you @vjr! :pray:
I'm sorry for this vague issue, but this seemed like the best place for it.
My system freezes at least ~2 times per day. In Pop!_OS that did not happen. I'm really enjoying elementary OS and really don't want to switch back, but I will have to unless I can fix this issue. So I'll try to give as much information as I can, and I'm hoping to get help from you to diagnose the issue so it can be fixed.

ctrl alt F2
to get a prompt after a freezeapt-get
, and installing anything that is like "low level" in the system./var/log/syslog
outputI'm getting a huge block of these:
Don't know if that means anything. Those seem to be in the log right when the freeze happens.
Before that block of those, I often see a lot of this stuff:
The most recent crash has 21 pages of that in my terminal before the
^@^@^@^@^@
stuff, starting atDec 7 13:32:58
and ending there atDec 7 13:40:06
.And that's all I've got.
I'm a pretty technical person and highly motivated to get rid of this freezing. Any help to further diagnose the issue or possible solutions is greatly appreciated.
