      I have a strange Dual Screen Asus on Intel with mobile arc. About 10% of the time, waking from sleep will crash the taskbar, something about the video driver not being ready yet.

      I just wrote a daemon to kick plasmashell in the ass if it notices the bar isn’t there.

          It’s ironic how, just like people make jokes of Linux audio even though it’s been stable for years, people stil joke about Windows throwing BSODs or requiring reinstalls non-stop, even though the last BSOD I had that wasn’t caused by faulty hardware or a weird one-of-a-kind driver issue was… 12 years ago? Something like that.

              “Latest” as in “Insider”? I’m on the first Patch Ring at work, so I’m one of the five people who get the latest patches, but we’re not Insiders. We had 3 BSODs last week when MediaTek fucked up their WiFi drivers and the devices crashed if connected to WiFi 7.

              The previous BSOD I saw at work was 3 years ago. The tech came in, replaced the MOBO and the issue was solved.

                A colleague of mine had a BSOD while we were doing our stand-up, and I have had a few over the last few years.

                Also, you don’t get to tell us that BSODs don’t count if the driver is written by someone else, that’s not how it works. Otherwise Linux has no audio problem, only alsa does. Completely different thing.

                IDK why you’re shilling for them honestly
