Look for a key in your keyboard labelled as "any" and press it. Setup should run fine afterwards.
Hmmm. I have also installed linux mint xfce from scratch. So far so good. It stuck only one time since this install. And its been 5 days or so i guess.
yeah, I have just reseated the RAM lets see if it fixed the problem,
yeah, entire machine locks up. Yeah have tried ssh'ing from mobile and it was stuck one time when i did that during a freeze. have replugged RAM let's see if system freezes again,
have just replugged RAM and lets see if system gets frozen again.
yeah, i think you might be right about RAM. Because one day i was holding my latop in my one hand and i saw this screen flickering thing. that was the first time this issue happened. And yeah i can not login to tty when the freeze happens this mean system is completely blocked and is not a graphical problem. I dont think its OOM issue as i have enough RAM and no system doesnt slow down a couple of seconds before freezing entirely. The freeze is random and instant and it happens sometimes when i slide laptop so i think its due to RAM loose connection. Not sure if the RAM is soldered one or is detachable. I will try to replug it and see if it fixes the problem. btw the machine in question is macbook pro 2012 and thanks for replying kind stranger!
Edit: the ram is detachable.

| When did it start to happen
idk exactly but it happened once or twice last week but yesterday it happened like 4 to 5 times in a single day randomly and then i thought switching to another distro or clean install might help but it did freeze once since i have installed mint xfce yesterday.
thank you kind stranger for taking your time to help me out,

for context, i have been using debian 12 for last 6 months perfectly fine. Its just from last week my laptop is randomly freezing and then I have to hard reset it everytime this happens, (pressing power off button for few seconds to force shutdown).

Its just random. How do i identify if this is hardware or software issue? and then how to identify exact piece of hardware or software causing this problem.

Is it a good idea to let a 16 yrs old use an AI assistant .i.e. chatgpt?
What are pros and cons of doing this? What impact it will have on the personality / mind of the person down the line after say 10 yrs?
Mint XFCE on MBP '12
Back then I was using fedora 38 KDE, and I was looking for other options b/c KDE was causing some issues on fedora. Used Mint XFCE for a brief time, then used OpenSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed before finally moving to Debian (current) setup.
OpenSUSE LEAP 15.5 on MBP '12
I switched to OpenSUSE from Fedora 38. This was back in Nov 2023. Had used fedora for around 1 yr or so and used opensuse after that for few months before I finally switched to Debian.
