Summary0006109: Kali always crashes.
Description

Anything that has to do with the internet connection crashes the whole system.
For example, when using synaptic package manager to install LibreOffice, the system stops responding, the screen is frozen or locked and keyboard won't respond (numlock and Caplock keys wont do anything).
I've had similar problems with the "apt" command line having problems to update/upgrade. I had to turn off the computer many times before I could finish these basic operation.
Memtest are OK no problems.
Install had been difficult the step "select and install software" had to be done many times.
There seems to be a problem with your kernel. same computer.
4.19 was stable, I had very little problems with Kali 2019 using
Could it be XFCE?

Steps To Reproduce

Just use "synaptic" to install "LibreOffice" or use the "apt" command

Thank you for your interest in Kali, but we are not able to deal with such hardware support problems. Please read https://kali.training/chapter-6/filing-a-good-bug-report/ first.

And consider that we are not kernel developers, if you know of a fix, we will gladly integrate it in our kernel build. Otherwise your best bet is to wait the next kernel update and keep around an old kernel that works for you (for example by installing an old known-working Kali image).
