Hello! Sorry for the late response! First off, I believe I didn't explain the TempleOS part nearly as well as I could have, so I'll have another go at it here. What I meant was that, in my usage of TempleOS (in a VM), I encountered less bugs overall than on my usage of Linux Mint. I'm sorry for...

I used to use Pop! OS 22.04 with the newer (experimental) 560 driver, and never had any issues on that. I remember back when the 550 driver released (on the experimental branch) I was on Ubuntu, and I ended up with a lot of GPU-related issues so it seems 550 is the problem here for sure. Next...

Thanks for the info, my signature's been updated. I always assumed that, because it was based on Ubuntu, it used the same numbering system.

Hello folks. I've been using Linux for around 2 years now. For 99% of that time, I've been distro-hopping around to try and find a distro that suits me best. While I've tried Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Pop! OS, and more, there's always been a distro that, for some reason, I never got around to...

Nobara sounds like it's for you. It is built with a special Kernel that increases gaming performance (marginally), and has a easy to use NVIDIA driver installer, also has some provisions that make Blender much easier to install.

I use OBS all the time. Even with my dinky little GT 1030, it still provides a good balance of FPS in the game I'm playing and decent quality on the recording side. I don't use it for streaming although it looks very easy to set up for that. As for the issue you're having, looks like the other...

Hmmmm.... Last time I tried anything other that GNOME 42 my system turned into a buggy mess... I'll pass lol.

Thats the thing- there is absolutely no physical damage which leads me to believe a bad solder joint on the GPU chip, or a vBIOS issue. Thanks for the advice though :)

I'm posting this here since its' not necessarily a Linux-related issue. I recently bought a broken XFX Radeon 5600 XT (THICC II) for dirt cheap, however it had some issues. The description read: "GPU does not display an image or otherwise appear to function, and the GPU device is not present...

Firefox-ESR with ArcticFox is my go-to. Brave is okay but its' not open source and the devs are cryptobros. Tor is also a great option.

I think phones are incredibly useful tools, but using mainstream companies like Apple or Google for your device is certainly not a good idea. I think all a phone needs is a messaging app, a phone app and maybe a web browser (also a music player is nice). I am definitely plan on switching to a...

Microsoft hates the fact that people use Linux instead of windows but secretly relies on it for 99% of their server infrastructure (among other things). Linux runs the world, and as for windows... well... as a famous person once said "Let it die, let it die, let it shrivel up and die!"

Welcome to the forum, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or help others out (if you feel so inclined, of course). We're here to help! (poyo! :D)

Pop!_OS 22.04, slightly modded Gnome 42

I have done SMART tests, as it is a part of the computer's built in diagnostic tool. It reported that everything was in working order. As for the adapter, I haven't tried removing, as the laptop does not a native NVME slot. I might consider ordering a higher quality one however, as the one I...

I guess I should have specified what I meant by that. I run sudo apt update/upgrade about every month or so, but the packages installed are generally ones that don't get as much updates. For example, Firefox-ESR.

Nope. Frankly, I've never found AI much help. Sure, it can do your work for you, but it doesn't really feel the same. What makes humans so great is the fact that each and every one of us is unique, and getting AI to do stuff for you takes that away, turning what could otherwise be a learning...

I haven't tried looking at resource usage during the freezes, as they seem to be completely random, but I agree with you about it being a issue with LXDE or maybe X11. As for upgrading to LXQt, I'll look into it, but I don't really plan on keeping this system too up to date honestly. I'll...

EDIT: It happened two more times, both after waking the computer from a suspended state for an extended period of time. For now, I'm just gonna hibernate the computer instead, but hopefully that might have an explanation. Hello folks. I've recently got my hands on a Lenovo Thinkpad E560. I'm...
