We’ve been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.
Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).
It’s not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can’t make up the extra demand.
And also protecting businesses by making sure we can’t wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.
We have to pay…for the privilege…of lollygagging through our sprinklers.
I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don’t need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that’s real tough to do if you can’t water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don’t really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it’s comfortable to walk on barefoot.
I’ve had VMs do this if not enough vram were allocated.
Since this is running on metal, I’d say check BIOS settings to see if you can dedicate additional memory to video/GPU. This is a pretty common feature for laptops and desktops with integrated graphics.
Following that, see if there may be a better non-free driver for your graphics. I’d recommend getting

output if you don’t know what chipset it is. What model is the laptop?What you’re explaining re: partial reboot sounds like your window/display manager crashing.
