Hi, im reporting on tails 3 beta 4, i have a intel gpu and have
experienced freezes upon logging into the desktop. They are frequent and
require rebooting multiple times to get it to load properly. If they dont
occur then there is no further risk of freezing during the session. There
doesnt appear to be any pattern to it, i do not interact with the computer
during its desktop loading process and it will either completely freeze or
partially freeze.

I have added the xorg-driver=intel in the bootup options and it gets stuck
every time during the bootup process at an item labeled [loading gnome
desktop manager], not 100% thats the exact name but thats what it was.
Troubleshooting mode doesnt work either.

Please do NOT apply this fix to tails as it will break tails, or if you do
provide instructions on how to disable it.
