  • Another time I left my computer while I went out for a walk, came back, and it was like I just rebooted… all my work was gone, and it was starting fresh from the login screen.

    Well, I’m pretty sure I had this happen once or twice in the recent past after wake from suspend I think, but it might be that my CPU is just one of the faulty intel ones.

    Either way the rest of this does not reflect my experience at all. Try distrohopping, I feel like you’ll find one that you like and doesn’t have these issues. openSuSE is always one of my suggestions, it was the one that I used for a long time when I started out as well, but tbh I’m out of touch with the more mainstream distros, I’ve only touched Gentoo and NixOS in the past >5 years. (I also specifically recommend against using Ubuntu.)

    Then I’ll open a different app, sometimes it might open, sometimes it won’t.

    Or an app will freeze for no obvious reason, and I’ll get a popup asking to wait or quit.

    Check journalctl --user, and also htop, specifically the process state, for the last one (you mention a NAS, is it perhaps stuck on IO? I’m in a fucked network where that regularly happens with my NAS.)
