Hello, I have just upgraded yesterday to the `22.10` Ubuntu Release from `22.04`. I am experiencing quite a few bugs.

The most relevant is one where the whole screen would freeze for no reason (only when regular browsing). The screen goes back to black briefly before showing back again the frozen screen.

Anything I can do?

Some neofetch details:

Hello @jgranja,
Welcome to Linux.org forums.

Often times it's the GPU that's at fault. And you may need a different driver for your card. I'm not on Ubuntu at the moment but there is a tab I believe in the software sources that says something like additional drivers or driver manager. see if you can find it and see if it offers you any different drivers. Good luck.

If Ubuntu 22.04 was working without problems rollback to it.

Ubuntu 22.10 is a non LTS distro whitch is only supported 9 months.

Brave has been know to cause freezes on some installs. Sometimes it can be fixed by disabling hardware acceleration.
click on System, and then disable hardware acceleration.

Yeah. I have been always an LTS distro guy but I read 22.10 had some perf optimizations and I wanted to have a go.

It is running much more smoothly when it does not crash so I wanted to figure out the problem.

In FireFox if that is a problem also you can disable hardware acceleration by going to settings > general> Scroll down to performance and un-check it then un-check hardware acceleration.

I love Firefox but it does consume too much RAM for me on Ubuntu.
I've tried uninstalling the snap version and installing the regular one but it still happens. Brave does a better job at memory management.

I use Vivaldi most of the time. Seems to work without a lot of problems. I know it's proprietary but it works for me.
