So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don’t want to have to never update my system. New distro? Suggestions to fix this? I ideally want an relatively bleeding edge distro.

    Exit to TTY (ctrl+alt+F2) and do the typical things, dmesg etc.

    Also without any hardware info we cant help

    I have to agree with the commenter suggesting a different display manager. SDDM or LightDM.

    Otherwise, I’d try a few LiveUSBs and see which distro doesn’t bork on you. If you want to stick to Fedora, I’d suggest Nobara

      This may just as well be a kernel or mesa or whatever bug, switching random components without any info doesnt make sense.
