This is just a theory, I don’t have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.
This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.
The same wasn’t observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they’re being caused by telemetry
I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well
Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work
I’ll have to look into this a bit more. The guy at the end of the comment chain says his chromium stuff is still flickering, but I’ll give it a whirl when I don’t strictly need a working dev environment :P
Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes
SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support
