I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),
but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always: My system specs:

here are the journalctl entries that I think are relevant
entries for events 40 min before that.
and this is from when it happened earlier in the day
Try changing the Display Manager from GDM to something like LightDM. There are some issues with GDM on some systems.
LightDM last stable release was 2 years ago, are there any other options available?? going through journalctl entries these seem to popout to me
