A question for #Linux#Wayland users. I am running Debian stable with Plasma and my computer was freezing randomly, and very often. Let's say once per day. I was about to start replacing hardware components to find the guilty party, but then I switched from Wayland to X11 and it has been a couple of weeks with not a single freeze. Is it possible that Wayland is this unstable or am I doing something wrong? My GPU is Radeon 6000 if this matters.
@darth All I can contribute is, that I'm on #EndeavourOS with #KDE, #plasma6 and #Wayland on my #RX6750XT and never got any freezes...
Nevertheless your problem could be any source, from hardware (faulty RAM, heat problem, ...) to software related.
@lemba a few people are sugesting that Wayland issues are ironed out in Plasma 6, while Plasma 5 might be an issue. Though, hardware is still not excluded. Thanks.
@razze I might. But I wanted to hear of anyone else on Fedi will reply with something that I can use. One person already told me that Wayland is experimental on Plasma 5, so I need to check that first. One of the reasons why I am a Linux user is because I can't stand Windows freezing and crashing randomly. Also why I use Debian stable instead of Arch, like big boys do it.
