- There is nothing about Refind into "journalctl -b".

- I am not mixing DEs, I use only Xfce.

- What does "S3 recovery" mean ? Samsung Galaxy S3 recovery ?

- The bug occurs since the first boot of that Xubuntu install (at that time it was the 20180108 Intel CPU microcode), so I won't try to clean the system. Moreover the freeze occurs before that I have the opportunity to enter the LUKS passphrase, at that time only the /boot partition is accessible. So, in my opinion, the only candidates for the bug are : Hardware - UEFI Bios - EFI partition - Refind - Grub - Something inside the /boot folder.

Thank you for your help and for all that time you spent to help me.
But I have to admit that I currently need to take some rest away from that bug.
I will uninstall "intel-microcode" for the moment, as anyway the current version doesn't provide any defence against Spectre/Meltdown. I will see what the next intel update gives. Also ASUS is supposed to provide "soon" a Bios update for my computer.

Have a good day,
