What have you tried: I clean-installed Kali Linux (2024.4) twice on my Dell Latitude 7480.

I searched online for hours but couldn’t find any solution or similar issue.

What is the error:

  1. After a successful installation, the system constantly freezes.
  2. The freezing occurs at login, immediately after login, or sometimes before login.
  3. When this happens, both the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive.

What device is this on: Dell Latitude 7480

I searched for 2 minutes and found mutiple instances of people having that exact issue with that exact dell model.

Don’t think of this as a “kali problem”, it’s apparently a general “linux problem” with your laptop.

Thank you. What do you suggest or what solutions have others proposed?

As I already told you - the mentioned solutions are a bit all over the place, and as I also have told you before - look for them yourself online.

“You” are sitting in front of your hardware and can try them out, not us.
