  • yeah. the thing with the stuck keys and crashes is not normal. I’ve never experienced it (though I wanted to restart the window manager once), but also I’m using KDE

    and you know what? if you still need x11 for some things, log in on a 2nd TTY to another user with an x11 session. you can then switch the active TTY to use the other. Though I admit, I have no idea how the 2 users’ sound system work together









  • NAS shared folders

    now that is something that can easily make the system unstable, especially a laptop that will disconnect from the network at least ince in a while. my experience is with KDE, that if there’s an unresponsive SMB mount 8n the filesystem, the whole KDE plasma environment fill freeze left and right, maybe with the exception of the window manager. but I have experienced this with other programs too. I suspect they all do filesystem accesses on the main thread and that’s why when a directory read hangs, they can’t do anything even handle clicksuntil the read times out.

    its infuriating honestly, in a sense. of course, I have got all my money back lol. but it’s like nobody is testing software with SMB shares, but I guess probably same goes for NFS, SSHFS or anything remote
