Hey everyone! I'm experiencing really annoying issues with my laptop while gaming on Linux Mint 22.2. After a few minutes of playing games like CSGO2, Overwatch 2, or Roblox, the whole system freezes up completely. The only way to get it to respond again is by doing a hard shutdown. During these freezes, the audio keeps playing, which makes it even weirder. Here are my specs for reference:
- DE: Cinnamon 6.4.8
- Kernel: 6.8.0-86-generic
- Memory: 16GB total
- CPU: Intel Core i5-10300H
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile.
This didn't happen when I was using Windows 10, so I'm not sure what's going on with Mint. Any advice?

You might want to check your system logs for any errors. Open a terminal and run `journalctl | grep "error"` or `dmesg -l,err` to see any relevant messages that might help diagnose the problem.
Thanks! I'll check that out. Just to clarify, how exactly do I access these logs?
