Would that not mean that the same problem exists in other operating systems as well? But seeing as it works fine to charge this old iPhone 4 in Windows, so it does not seem like a hardware malfunction in this particular case. Everything except the mouse just freezes, and no keyboard combination I can think of helps. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Esc, Super+Esc, Ctrl +Alt+Del... There is only one way out, and that's to hard-reboot everything (which my harddrive doesn't seem to enjoy). //Robin Oberg
