I want to make the move to Mint at the end of Win10 in a week or so, but I’ve heard some horror stories about how tough it can be to get Nvidia GPUs working with them. As it is I have a 4060TI and no money for an AMD GPU. If I can’t get my GPU working with Linux I’m probably gonna end up having to stick with Windows untim I can afford an AMD GPU, the thought of which doesn’t exactly excite me.
Have you had a look at journalctl to see what’s actually failing when your taskbar freezes?
I have not, didn’t know that was an option haha. I’ll look into how to use it. I’m guessing it’s a log of some kind?
It’ll basically the systemd logging system, it can print out all the system messages, you can get it to output a given time period or a particular service, handy for seeing what’s going on from multiple services at once, something that might look like graphics issue might actually be something completely different causing a problem, should give you a few more threads to pull to hopefully resolve the issue.
