Subject: Re: Computer Freezes When Waking Up [Linux Mint 18.3]
Sorry for the delay. Haven't had time to sit down even... Anyway, seems
like they just pushed up some updates to the kernel and microcode. -- I'll
apply the updates now and post back, I've also noticed some other minor
things got borked now and then. Such as terminal not wanting to open (rare
times), and my Slack client unable to start anymore. -- I suppose that's
what I get for not waiting till the end of the month to apply updates. -___-

My computer isn't using legacy, and is custom built. So ACPI may sound like
the problem w/ the newer kernal. Worst case I'll see if disabling it would
solve my problem.
