Thanks for your reply. Here are my specs and I've added them to the post:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X
  • RAM: 32 GiB
  • CPU: AMDยฎ Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor ร— 24
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

I'm not sure what dkms is but I just Googled it and it looks like it's related to AMD, is that right? I have an NVIDIA GPU so it might not be relevant.

I ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade like you suggested and then tried updating some components while doing something in my browser. It seems promising so far, thanks! I'll need to do more updates to know for sure though

Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

Update:

Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.

  • RAM: 32 GiB
  • CPU: AMDยฎ Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor ร— 24

Pretty sure it's just expanded and pronounced "for real," so frfr would be "for real for real."

What is your least favourite acronym? (lemmy.nz)
 

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speechโ€”you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

Urban skating help needed - best ways to stop? (lemmy.nz)
 

Hi, I recently moved apartment and started skateboarding to work. I have a nickel board, so more for cruising than tricks.

My question is: what's the best way to slow down and stop on sidewalks?

I've watched several YouTube videos about different techniques for slowing down and stopping, but they tended to assume an environment with more room and smooth ground. Where I ride, it's a sidewalk with cracks and leaves and changing terrain. It is also somewhat hilly so I really need a way to slow down on sustained (not steep though) downhills.

One of the best techniques I found was called pumping, basically the opposite of pushing. This works well on any terrain and on skinny sidewalks. However, it's really hard on my ankles, and I actually made my right ankle swollen. So I figured I need a better way.

I don't particularly want to use techniques that scrape my shoes. And I'm not sure powerslides are the best idea on the uneven terrain.

Surely there's something better than just dismounting? Do I have to ride on the road to do powerslides?

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice!! I'm quite new to this so anything is helpful
