Repeat Crashes/Kernel Panic: Post-macOS Reinstall (with Time Machine Migration)

Hi everyone,


Seeking a bit of clarification/assistance in interpreting the diagnostic report generated by my Macbook (& Etrecheck), following repeated crashes/kernel panics over the past 24 hours.


Not at all tech-savy, so trying to interpret the report (using the help of Dr Google + previous similar posts on here) has been challenging.


Background: 13" Macbook Pro Mid 2012 (running on macOS Catalina 10.15.7; 500GB Crucial MX500 SSD, with ~400GB unused). In the interest of full disclosure, recently (yesterday) had to wipe my SSD (previously running on macOS Mojave) + install macOS Catalina (with Time Machine migration, from March 2023), as the SSD became unbootable and I failed to find a viable solution online (🛇- SSD Unbootable (in Recovery) & Se… - Apple Community).


Queries:


(1) What do the reports mean?


(2) Any glaring reason(s) for the kernel panics/repeated crashes?


(3) Can I do anything about the above (permanently), besides trying to uninstall the faulty software/apps (assuming the above show a potential software/app/data corruption issue)? After installing macOS Catalina yesterday, I opted to migrate my apps/files/data from a previous Time Machine backup (March 2023- all of which were running on much older versions of macOS, never on Catalina).


(4) Would an 'app cleaner' of some sort, help in finding hidden/more embedded files for clearance?


(5) Anything else I should be doing/checking?


Thanks in advance for any help. (Reports included below)



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Delete these files & restart...


/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.tunnelblick.tunnelblick.tunnelblickd.plist


~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.tunnelblick.tunnelblick.LaunchAtLogin.plist

~ tilde indicates your user library folder

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

1 From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.

2 In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.
