citrusface OP , 2 months ago I think I actually fixed it? i tried to do an os refresh but kept getting some generic error bc the backup partition wouldnt update? after a bunch of fumbling around I actually slowed down and took a second to read the errors and saw an error for a game i had removed. so after ducking around (intentional duckduckgo pun) i found the sudo apt purge command and zapped it then i followed https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/ and some things happened and downloaded and i rebooted and its working now? I will know for sure if its working if doesn't start happening again in an hour. but i think it might be good to go based on that experience. Edit: continues to work. Might be solid. Will report back tomorrow.
