I'm running a Dell Inspiron with an Intel video driver and up-to-date
F23 64 bit installed, GNOME3 desktop. I'm looking for suggestions to
improve stability, as I'm crashing 3 - 4 times a day and can't afford
to lose work in progress in LibreOffice, consoles and Chromium.
Crashes are almost always occurring when I click on a link or UI
element, instantly dropping me back into the login screen. Running
ABRT, I've posted bugs to Bugzilla (see below).
If anyone has a similar setup and had found more stability by
downgrading a driver, tweaking settings or switching desktops, I'd
welcome any suggestions.
Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz × 4
Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)
Memory 11.6 Gb
GNOME Version 3.18.2

So I'm not alone.
I have a similar problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298826
but still waiting for a solution.
As you I have no workaround except for crossing my fingers before I open
LibreOffice. But, it works only occasionally.
I have a Dell Latitude E5430.
Best,
Marco

I'd certainly try switching desktops to something that isn't insisting
on doing 3D animations for everything. I use fvwm with intel video
all the time and have never had a video related crash that I know of.
Is gnome using wayland instead of "normal" X these days? If so,
another reason to switch.
Tom:
The last time I crashed back to the login screen I hit the little
'gear' icon to see what choices I had installed, and I could pick from
"GNOME" "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME with Wayland" (iirc,
perhaps not
verbatim). I had been using "GNOME Classic" and thought I'd try
Wayland for the experience. So far, no crashes, but it's only been a
few hours.

If you're having constant crashes like that, there's something wrong.
It's been months since I've had to reboot for anything except a power
outage, all scheduled. Of course, I don't use Gnome, but even that
should be more stable than this.

Hence my post.
Been running Linux since dinosaurs roamed the earth, floppy disks, 110
baud, blah blah blah, many machines, many distros.
This is a new-ish laptop, clean F23 install. Inspiron is one model
down in build quality than my usual and I regret that. I've had to
disasssemble and retighten screws twice to avoid crashes when lifting,
twisting, repositioning screen, etc. This doesn't seem to be a replay
of that, although a click certainly can cause mechanical motion. The
screw tightness problem was causing a full hardware crash, short to
ground, dead box, not a desktop crash, so I'm pretty sure they're
different issues.
Of course, I don't use Gnome, but even that should be more
stable than this.
GNOME3's not my first choice, just went with the defaults to see how
long until I'm disappointed again and find a new desktop.
So I've narrowed it down to hardware, driver or desktop manager. Now
to vary one factor at a time, gather data, and try alternatives.
