Always, this laptop was initially installed with i think Mint 15 and had been upgraded several times

Will try those htop settings, kinda had forgotten it even had any settings 😅

It’s happening with whatever is the heaviest process at the moment and has happened for months, MANY reboots since then. Usually the heaviest process is the browser, but not always

Nope, that’s what i suspected but no, half of the 32Gb of RAM and zero or very little swap are in use when it happens, very good part of why i’m stumped

Ah shit, forgot to mention that, will add it to the post. Yes, it’s SSD.

As someone who loved it, this was it. We waited forever for the next release which promised a full desktop environment, it never happened, we moved on to stuff that actually existed. I understand there IS ongoing development and even forks, but i frankly have no idea how is it these days. If i found out you can just apt-get a full E-based DE tomorrow i would definitely consider dedicating time to test it, specially if it’s still considered to be among the lightest, because man, when it was at it’s best it was very much the promise of a Hollywood Hacker style desktop, it was awesome and you could do nearly everything on the keyboard, plus it had a gazillion themes.
