Thanks for having the balls to say this, because yeah, I immediately noticed this.

Yes I think I found it, kwin_wayland is segfault'ing randomly, causing the whole session to crash and restart.

Not sure how to fix that though ...

It looks like kwin_wayland is on there as "inaccessible" about the time it last happened

 

I'm on arch, using KDE. AMD CPU and GPU.

For the last few months, my computer will occasionally go into a TTY briefly and show a few things (way too fast to read) and then shoot me back to the desktop where every program that was running is closed. Almost like a mini crash.

Super weird. I tried looking in /var/log, but couldn't find anything relevant.

Anyone know what's up with this?

 

More specifically, Portage. I know use flags and "optimization" are all the hype, but really, would the average user even see a benefit from customizing all their use flags? Especially a benefit that compensates for the constant compilation?

I installed it once to help grow my e-peen, but immediately switched back to Arch after watching my system compile.

Those who daily drive it, do compilation and use flags annoy you, and do you see any real benefit?

I forget there are linux-friendly laptops nowadays.

If you want to disable Intel Management Engine, the always-on backdoor built into every Intel CPU and/or want as much software as possible on your machine to be FOSS

Also it boots much faster than most stock bios.

It's an open source bios. There are only builds for a certain few laptops and it involves opening it up and flashing the bios chip

You forgot "Only uses 10+ year old librebooted Thinkpad" on tech paranoid

Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.

For some reason, the best word to describe it in my mind is "fun". Just fun to learn and play with, fun to install, fun to configure and customize, and fun to daily drive. Definitely not fun when a random package update breaks your system (looking at you grub), but that hardly ever happens anymore provided you don't enable the testing repo.

Also pacman is the fastest package manager I've ever used.

I mean, all the other major killers are more-or-less preventable before your body reaches it's general decline into dysfunction from old age.

Heart disease and cancer alone kill more than like everything else combined, the former being largely preventable with proper lifestyle and diet.
