In case anybody else comes across this problem, I was able to ssh into
the machine and get some logs (though shutting down would only stop the
cursor from moving and nothing else). I would get
`__await_execution: stub` on my console three times, and then
`Asynchronous wait on fence :Xorg[73369]:2e16 timed out (hint:0xffffffff81724fe0s)`
after about 10 seconds and then the freeze occurs. I looked around the
internet a bit and turns out that using the intel(4) driver on newer
hardware is not recommended, so I just removed my xorg.conf.d, which
reverted me back to the modesetting(4) driver, and everything works
fine now. Though there are some drm errors in the console, they seem to
have no effect on me whatsoever.
