Bay Trail is a family of processors/SoCs introduced in 2013. They were ubiquitous. And they suffered hangs under Linux. <https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/55844/bay-trail.html> The work-around has been to turn off some power-saving capabilities, crippling the usefulness of these "low-power" chips. (I suspect most users never found the magic incantation to do this and so have just given up on running Linux on these systems.) I'm subscribed to the bugzilla entries. I just got a notification of the thousandth comment added to one. A kernel patch has been submitted by Intel and accepted for 5.3 (months away). The whole useful life of this SoC has been impaired. This patch is work-around code for a chip bug. The patch itself is restricted to "Valleyview" which is a name for something that covers all Bay Trail chips, and only Bay Trail chips. <https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051> --- Comment #1000 from w2q@arcor.de --- I may cite Hans de Goede from this site: https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/mobile-linux/1096936-intel-ba... " Actually the Intel open-source devs have been working on fixing this and a patch-series which should improve things wrt this has been queued for merging into 5.3 (it just missed the 5.2 merge window), see: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/commit/?id=a75d035fedbdecf83f86767aa2... " Yeah, comment 1000!
