Today I discovered that even when not toggling desktop effects at runtime, the freeze can still be mined into the system. I got a crash after 1 day of uptime, no toggling of desktop compositing required. I find it remarkable how the cause of the crash appears to have immediately changed after me making the comment above yesterday; I tested my theory that desktop effects are the root for 2 months, yet the moment I publish my observations the behavior changes in less than a day. This further makes me concerned that someone might be deliberately programming this crash using vulnerabilities in system components, solely for how strange this coincidence is. I'm still waiting for the developers to help investigate this further whatever the case, as I cannot find any explanation at this point.
