Description

### What Happened?

EDIT: Update, this may be related to kernel version. I seem to be avoiding the issue with kernel 6.8.0-79 instead of the newer kernel.

My system is hanging intermittently after some boots and not others. When it is hanging, I am seeing these errors from `sudo journalctl -xe` that might (?) be related:

```
Mar 02 12:29:11 foghornleghorn io.elementary.s[3805]: SystemUpdate.vala:82: Failed to get offline prepared ids: No offline updates have been prepared
Mar 02 12:29:16 foghornleghorn io.elementary.t[5675]: failed to commit changes to dconf: Timeout was reached
```

### Steps to Reproduce

Cold boot of machine, it happens sometimes. I will get random hangs for a few seconds at a time for all input, including in virtual consoles and also in desktop, browser windows, terminals, etc... Usually windows draw completely (no partial draw).

### Expected Behavior

No hangs.

### OS Version

8.x (Circe)

### OS Architecture

amd64 (on most hardwares)

### Session Type

Secure Session (Wayland, This is the default)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

```shell

```

### Hardware Info

Laptop, i7-11800H, 32GB RAM, Nvidia 3050 Ti mobile
