Details:

For years I had the same problem on several laptops. Without any reason,
regardless of whether the computer was working intense or idle, the computer
would freeze. This could happen several times a day or once a month. The
Syslog left no trace. Two weeks ago it came on my mind one option in grub:
acpi_osi="Linux", I inserted it into /etc/default/grub, made update-grub, and
since then there was no freeze at all. Moreover, the whole computer runs
faster and the CPU is less loaded.
I don't understand: if Linux is to be installed, why acpi_osi="Linux" isn't
default? Moreover, why kernel answer to BIOS with 'false', when BOIS ask
kernel wheatear it is Linux?

GRUB 2.02~beta3-5
OS Debian 9.1
Processor 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M CPU @ 2.10GHz
Memory 8018MB
Laptop Lenovo ThinkPad L520
