maybe linux and its desktop environments need to be more closely designed around things going wrong with gpu drivers so it isn't super annoying when things go wrong with gpu drivers

i'll note that my framework (16) has experienced a gpu crash or two in its current service life and kde (6) has recovered pretty much seamlessly

however, there is a second failure mode that isn't a full gpu crash but instead the display refresh rate drops to like 2 fps. that is unrecoverable without logging out and back in :(

i mean at least you can log out at 2 fps. the respecting vt locks even when the program holding them is hung thing that is just linux's unquestioned default behavior is extremely unhinged

i'm also going to talk about windows for a second

the desktop i'm writing these posts on right now for the first few months of its service life when it was running bare metal windows 10 periodically bluescreened, and (nirsoft) bluescreenview reported the crash occurred in the gpu driver

easily recovering from bluescreens was part of the reason this computer now runs windows 10 in a VM, with GPU passthrough

@haskal wtf happened to gpus? i dont have gpu crashes ever..

@haskal i know it doesnt help u that mine works. i meant it like . like do newer gpus crash more than the older ones did? or has it always been kinda random whether a gpu crashes a bunch or not? i dont rly expect you to know the answer to this tho. sry if my wonderings are bothersome

@artemis @haskal the raphael iGPU in ryzen 7xxx* is also fucked .
windows indeed recovers well . shit just freezes for a moment, it tries to kill related programs and you're back in 10 sec . tho if ur on amd u need RadeonResetBugFix.
