Dont have anything much to add, but just wanted to mention:

I was on Ubuntu for a few months but kept getting freezes randomly. It would just stop in the middle of anything, could be the browser, could be a video, could be when it goes to sleep.

Not sure if it was a hardware issue (SSD), but I changed to my NVME drive and also went to Linux Mint 19.1. Last time I tried (I think mint 19?), the ivrs_ioapic command did not work, however this time it did (at least on 19.1). Only problem is when you boot into the setup screen, the screen is fractured, it doesn't display right. So do "nomodeset" to get it installed. Once you install it and boot into mint, upgrade the kernel to 4.20. That fixed my screen issue. Everything else works perfect when the ivrs added. Haven't had and freezing yet either, so crossing my fingers.
