Wow. Not a single one, huh? I'm sure manufacturers assuming Windows and lazily building hardware that does 90% of the work in giant closed-source drivers have nothing to do with the "flaws and issues" that ALL distros apparently have some of.
No Linux distro I've run has had a necessary parent process like "explorer.exe" crash causing the PC to mysteriously stop working with no indication of what's happening, an issue I'm still encountering in others' Windows PCs 25 years later... or having the main (Start) menu responding to clicks/taps (changing color like it's activated) but not opening the menu, seen that on multiple Windows machines with perfectly fine hardware. Maybe it was too busy loading unwanted, unsolicited ads into the Start menu to do its job.
The "average user" will either pay a not-insignificant amount of money to fix issues or throw away still-good hardware and buy new every 3-5 years, at which point they will still need help backing up and restoring their data unless they are sending it all to Microsoft cloud who is training "AI" with it for profit. Environmentally and financially taxing but I guess I can't complain; more free/dirt-cheap Linux boxes for my friends and family!
Edit: My wife and son are gaming on up-to-date OSes on PCs that are old enough to drive a car. Truth be told, my son has a slightly newer video card than that, though. Energy use is becoming a concern although it's not really wasted when we need to heat the house six or seven months out of the year where we are.
I have that happen constantly in KDE lol.
What process? KDE under Wayland and I'm guessing you have Nvidia?
Edit: CachyOS. I see references to pageflip kernel bugs on AMD, too. You're running a cutting-edge OS (Arch-based), please get in touch with devs and help improve your OS and maybe learn something along the way?
Edit: Arch of all things, you are a guinea pig. Just like on Windows, except open-source so you can help.
Sorry if harsh, it's getting late:
Oh don't worry. I am in their discord and attempting to help in what ways I can friend! The newest Nvidia drivers are most likely my trouble
That meme is great btw lol
