While running Godot in various situations, the graphical environment on my laptop froze, forcing me to power off and restart the machine.

emviroment: Linux Mint 21.3 with kernel 5.15.0-157-generic
CPU: Intel Celeron N2806 (Bay Trail)
Event: Upon launching Godot, the graphical environment froze. I found the following in the kernel log:

Oct 19 11:26:21 kernel: [ 3500.761917] kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)

That is an incredibly out of date CPU which might cause issues like this, and since it’s a laptop, it might be a case of your pc being too old to properly run the engine.
