Comment:
OK I think I've found the source of error. Firstly I noticed it didn't happen when just terminal windows. I use a minimal desktop environment without even a toolbar. I reasoned it's because the terminal is not using AMD graphics APIs for video or vulkan.

```
  487  xbps-query -Rs mesa-vulkan-radeon
  488  xbps-query -Rs amdvlk
  489  xbps-remove mesa-vulkan-radeon
  490  xbps-query -Rs mesa-vaapi
  491  xbps-remove mesa-vaapi
  492  xbps-remove mesa-vdpau
  493  xbps-query -Rs mesa-dri
  496  cd /var/cache/xbps/
  498  xdowngrade mesa-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps libglapi-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps libOSMesa-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps mesa-libgallium-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps libgbm-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps libgbm-devel-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps MesaLib-devel-24.2.7_1.x86_64.xbps
```

Here are the lines which seem to have fixed it. I'm on kernel 6.12 and haven't had any freeze yet.

https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/graphical-session/graphics-drivers/amd.html

A big culprit seems to be the browser, which I reckon must've been using one of these components. I removed them and downgraded mesa. So if you're having these freezes, remove everything except mesa, and then downgrade mesa.

BTW I tried both external graphics card (onboard disabled in bios), and removing the graphics card and just using onboard. Both are AMD. Both would have the same system freezing.
