As of the kernel 6.1.0-32-amd64 on bookworm, such freezes continue to occur. The last one happened when I browsed the Web in Firefox 128.9.0esr-1~deb12u1; the cursor froze when it was on a tab ruler.
Here's the log of the last seconds prior to the freeze: Apr 11 20:30:09 AnonymPC dhclient[882]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp6s0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 Apr 11 20:30:21 AnonymPC dhclient[882]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp6s0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 Apr 11 20:30:35 AnonymPC dhclient[882]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp6s0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 Apr 11 20:30:44 AnonymPC dhclient[882]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp6s0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.Settings.SearchProvider' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.Contacts.SearchProvider' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.seahorse.Application' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.Calculator.SearchProvider' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating via systemd: service name='org.gnome.Terminal' unit='gnome-terminal-server.service' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.clocks' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.Epiphany.SearchProvider' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC dbus-daemon[2765]: [session uid=1000 pid=2765] Activating service name='org.gnome.Characters' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=3032 comm="/usr/bin/gnome-shell") Apr 11 20:30:45 AnonymPC systemd[2728]: Starting gnome-terminal-server.service - GNOME Terminal Server... ░░ Subject: A start job for unit UNIT has begun execution ░░ Defined-By: systemd ░░ Support: https://www.debian.org/support ░░ ░░ A start job for unit UNIT has begun execution. ░░ ░░ The job identifier is 1665.

Also, all messages “/etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/zzz_avahi-autoipd returned non-zero exit status 1” (e.g., in the sixth line from below) are marked red. Some recovery was possible when I logged in via ssh from another machine; I made myself root and issued `kill -9 -1`. After a minute or so, lots of stuff apparently restarted itself until I saw a GDM3 log in screen. I could log in into my user account and write this very message. On an earlier attempt of recovering from an earlier freeze a few days ago, killing gdm3 and removing and modprobing the nouveau driver with dependencies via ssh helped.
