i run MATE desktop on bookworm/sid (but it is mostly testing packages with just a few more recent things that i follow). pretty much the same trouble i had for a while and no further information have i been able to gather. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2022/03/msg00233.html i made sure i was using the most recent firmware packages i could find plus i've had quite a few package updates come through and have also been running the most recent kernel i could get ahold of - so far no lock ups since then, but i could not tell you which of my actions helped or if i'll get a lock up again. songbird
