Librem 14 Crash

My Librem 14 crashed on Byzantium PureOS. This is not common for me although it happened twice this week. Here is what journal says:

Could this crash be caused by FBI interference after I made a post that Signal is compromised here? Maybe FBI thinks this is funny, and one of their guys was bored this evening and is hacking me.

Or is this a known bug in Byzantium + Xorg? Would it be fixed by Crimson?

Do we know why those settings would help? I guess some bad intel optimizations? Is this because of that time a year ago I booted Windows from an external drive on the Librem 14 and maybe it got mucked up somehow?

I know you might not know, but I thought I would try asking. Thanks for your time

This is 2 solutions in 1 for possible Gpu hang, above

But you can try just uninstalling: brltty

I do not think because you used Windows, however Windows OS and Linux OS(Ubuntu,Debian,ArchLinux,Fedora,LinuxMint) are equally dangerous.

Also track if the CRASH appears after a suspension state resumen that WindowS
