I Am Seriously Done With 13

I never had any problems with random unresolvable freeze ups or thermal shutdowns on Boron/12  Soon as I can find the USB drive I use for back ups I'm going back and not upgrading until this crap is sorted out by Debian

So frustrating.

Re: I Am Seriously Done With 13

I'm on 13.5 gone through all the updates and upgrades and have had no issues to speak of. I have heard of some thermal issues (sensor misreads and auto reboots and kernel panics) on Dell boxes but my main OS Deb 13.5 is on a Dell with the latest kernel which runs about 18 hours a day. Maybe hardware?

I'm on an Elitebook 8460P.  It's old but I didn't have any issues with Boron.  Disk drive was replaced witha brand new SSD about a year ago.

I have that same laptop and haven't experienced any freezes or thermal shutdowns. Some years ago I repasted the CPU heatsink as well as replaced the fan. Most likely you may need to do that.

Yeah, seems likely  Not a task I really want to undertake  I've seen the product manual and it looks like the CPU is a nightmare to access.

With that hardware, I agree. Install Boron, it will be supported for 2 more years.

If you aren't adept at servicing your own laptop perhaps you could look into someone else doing that for you. My 8460p still is going strong after 15 years. The only bad thing is battery is hard to find for it now.
