So I have been getting green screen of death on this new computer build of mine. This new computer is the first time I have run linux as I am NOT paying Microsoft any more of my money. The green screens started happening immediately I had originally thought it was due to old drivers at first but I updated every last thing I could find and it is still happening. AI told me that it could be a corrupted file system and suggested a command but it did not seem to do anything and I do not know why. Please help with this and any other suggestions on why I may be greenscreening. It is very intermittent, if I am online for 17 hours it will happen once or twice. Anyway, here is the command the AI gave me and its results…

fsck / btrfs --check --repair fsck from util-linux 2.40.4 If you wish to check the consistency of a BTRFS filesystem or repair a damaged filesystem, see btrfs(8) subcommand ‘check’.

Probably a super newb question but I am a super newb here in Linux lol

Thanks in advance

    I think there may be some safeguards in place so that it doesn’t, but yeah. It reads something like (rm) remove/delete, (-rf) remove/delete the folder, (~/) do this recursively until you hit root (Unix equivalent of C:).

    I may have some of that parsed incorrectly, I haven’t taken the plunge into Linux quite yet. As soon as I figure out what I did wrong in my current hardware build I will install Linux. Probably Mint.
