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.
I have been running Bazzite (with KDE) and an Nvidia GPU (RTX 3070) for almost 6 months and I have not had any issues.
Everything worked with no additional tweaks. I was playing Dead Space (2023) almost half an hour after installing the OS, it was amazing. If you have the time, you should give it a try, I highly recommend it.
I don’t know what I’m doing, I just installed some Arch thing and so far everythings worked - although my hdd is sluggish compared to my old windows install.
I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve been having good experiences with Wayland + NVIDIA on both Ubuntu 25.10 and EndeavourOS (whatever version is the latest). There are minor annoyances, but nothing as dire as what you’re describing.
I’ve been on Kubuntu with a RTX gpu for the past year. No crashes, no problems. For the April release I swapped to Wayland and it also works fine. I think Wayland has better gui scaling and multi monitor support too.
Maybe kde is the problem? I use Wayland + Nvidia and before xorg. I never liked kde it was always buggy for me so I haven’t used it for many years but when I did was it xorg + Nvidia on Manjaro. But since I went with other DEs have I never had any problems.
Just use Xorg. Wayland is notorious for Nvidia issues.
One in a while there is an issue with CS2 for me too, but it’s usually because of fullscreen/windowed mode and the window manager being aggressive. Try turning it off/on with launch parameters.

I may need to look at other distros a bit, but KDE is non negotiable for me. I hope its not plasma that’s the problem.
