It feels like I no longer get ui events or can click anything. like there is an invisible window between me and all applications. I can get out of it by hitting the windows key and re-selecting any app.
I am running tail -f /var/log/syslog
on my third monitor and I do not see a strong correlation between any events there and the freezes.
The last two were related to CRON jobs of some sort:
Jan 27 23:17:01 AypahyosComputer CRON[79647]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
Jan 27 23:30:01 AypahyosComputer CRON[80218]: (root) CMD ([ -x /etc/init.d/anacron ] && if [ ! -d /run/systemd/system ]; then /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null; fi)
Not sure what to make from it.
This may be interesting for other users since it happened as a consequence to a recent update.
Any Ideas how I could further narrow the cause down?
EDIT: Hand another freeze while moving a window from screen 1 to screen 2

EDIT: this freeze looks interesting because it went hand in hand with exceptions

I will make sure my nvidia driver components are up to snuff and see if that makes the errors disappear.
