Definitely envious of them. I can't get a stable system and I'm convinced wayland+nvidia are the culprit.
Firefox randomly crashes, steam randomly crashes, CS2 randomly crashes, plasma desktop randomly freezes (requires hardware button reset), haruna randomly crashes. I've never had a more unstable system. I'm greeted with 3 notifications of some process crashing at every boot.
I'd love to fully switch, but I cant have a system where things randomly crash like that. All this on latest Fedora KDE and I'm fairly certain I have everything needed installed from the driver side of things. On two year old hardware.
Its such a different experience from running a headless debian system.
Please try memtest86. I had issues that almost looked like this.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it and see if there's anything wrong there, though I don't expect it since windows works fine.
