--- Comment #21 from MirceaKitsune <sonichedgehog_hyperblast00 at yahoo.com> ---
Once again, I'm dealing with at least one system crash per day. The latest one
happens even after upgrading to the 4.11.0 Kernel, meaning the error was ported
to it as well.

Why are the developers so incapable this time? This has been happening for
nearly 3 darn months! The problem has been fixed twice, and each time it's
returned after over 2 weeks. Can someone please explain what the heck is going
on here? At this stage, it feels like someone is actively developing and
updating this freeze against the latest system components... I don't even see
how it could survive through this many package updates by chance alone, it is
ridiculous.

And please don't lecture me on how this is free software, and I should only be
complaining if I was actually paying the developers: There is a limit beyond
which an important piece of software, be it a free Linux distribution or
component, can break and stay broken. To literally be unable to keep a system
running without the image suddenly freezing and the monitor shutting down every
single day, for over a quarter of an year... that goes far beyond that limit.

I'm sorry for the outburst, but at this stage I think something needed to be
said. I did not expect something like this to get dragged so far, and that I'd
be unable to keep my system running for months. I'm going to bump the severity
of this issue again, in hopes that someone can please take a look at it so I
can run my system normally again! Thank you.
