Kali Linux (2023.1) randomly freezes on Dell Latitude 7490

Kali Linux(2023.1) randomly hard freezes on Dell Latitude 7490. This can happen immediately or after few minutes.

This is  likely caused by a bug in integrated Intel GPU (i915) driver, see the following links for more information:

Bug 102586 - System freeze with Kernels > 4.11.x (freeze on 4.12.x and 4.13.x)

Workaround:

  1. Touch /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
  2. Add this line
    options i915 enable_psr=0
  3. Reboot

//end
