Did further investigations and the entire desktop freezes, not just the video rendering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=869e9YwW0vw Some investigation led me to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 and https://askubuntu.com/questions/803640/system-freezes-completely-with- intel-bay-trail I set intel_idle.max_cstate=2 in my grub config and now the issue never happens, but I have (anecdotally) seen worse battery life as a result. Can this be fixed in such a way that I don't have to suffer poor battery performance.
