I have installed brand new opensuse leap 42.2 on my new laptop . Post installation I can see display freezes randomly but very frequently . Because of this I need to a hard reboot everytime to get things working . I use mate desktop environment and I can see freeze occurs 5-6 times a day . If there is any workaround please let me know .
