Correct. I've seen this same issue reported across distros and kernel versions, affecting both Nvidia and AMD GPUs. In the past it has been categorized as bugs in the kernel and then closed, and I assume a kernel update fixes it until it pops up again.
Cant hurt to try but it does not happen on my windows partition and the amount of reports of the same kernel bug over the years makes me think its a software thing. Oh well, fingers crossed the GPU or ram is just a little unseated or dusty or something.
Do you get the same issues in an X session? Have you tried switching kernels? I remember 6.12 causing similar issues on my setup.
No, the most recent version of Nobara only supports Wayland now (at least I can't switch from SDDM, not sure if I can switch at all. Strangely, I have Wayland to x11 bridge always running by default. I have no clue what it is or why its on but it is).
If I recall correctly it was a Fedora fork that was designed for gaming with a bunch of gaming optimizations pre-installed. I don't believe it's community is big enough to reach the critical mass needed for stability. I don't really know what it has over just installing Steam or whatever on Linux Mint.
Last year there was some regressions in the drivers that played with mesa. It only affected certain newer amd and nvidia cards but it snuck through a couple versions and was weirdly back ported into the LTS kernel. It would not surprise me if this is a similar situation being reintroduced again into newer kernels considering complaints cropping back up in several forums from new users. Even if the needed detailed info was provided I'm not skilled enough to bisect the kernel to hunt it down myself. Some day maybe... but not this year.
It's by that Glorious Eggroll guy that did the Steam Proton replacement that's popular with gamers. I agree with you that the standard Steam set up on any distro is just as good. IDK how talented in maintaining the GE guy is, but it's definitely something they need to know about.
The saddest tale of Linux is that there are many misfeatures that would be better removed but there aren't many distroes that don't participate in featuremaxxing. Even musl distroes often featuremax. Even non-systemd-distroes often featuremax. Featuremaxxing appears to be the most cargo-cult of the reflexive responses of the distro maintainer. Gentoo is the best solution to this I've seen so far.
He's really good at getting his proton fork to run games that proton doesn't officially run, but working on a single program is vastly different then maintaining a distro.
Fwiw he isn't working alone, I think he has a small group of community members helping him. Nobara has been pretty good for me so far.
Until someone makes NaziNiggerkillerOS you're always going to find troons around linux.
In a world with 'emerge', someone creating a distro with 'bulge' and 'sheath' as package management utilities seems inevitable.
that's part of why I love it. I configure my kernel. and use the dist-kernel with the savedconfig option. I just throw my kernel configuration file in /etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel and portage takes care of everything else. makes having a custom kernel as easy as upgrading your kernel on any other distro. After configuring it of course. there are also tricks for making configuring a kernel with only the features you need, pretty easy.
that still sounds like some kind of driver issue. That definitely shouldn't happen still. I still don't know what actual gpu you are using. and I have no idea what all comes on that distro out of the box. Like what optimizations they are supposedly adding. what daemons they have running etc.Heh shows how much you guys know, I actually fixed it by changing my power profile from 'Eco' to 'performance'
For real. I figured it out by messing with the nightlight feature. I got soft crashes by dragging the temperature slider, luckily it's in the same menu as the power mode else I wouldn't have noticed it was on eco. As soon as I set it to performance all crashes stopped. Idk how it got set to eco or why there even is an Eco mode on a desktop gaming distro.
Appreciate all the helpful replies
$ for f in GRMN*.MP4 ; do echo "file '$f'" >> mylist.txt; done
$ ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i mylist.txt -c copy output.mp4Put that in a text file, rename to .sh and run it?
