I’ve been using linux mint cinnamon for a few months but a few days ago I decided to try endeavourOS. Since the switch I experienced a few crashes where the screen went black and then login page showed up and after getting back my opened apps were all closed. Today I also noticed that my apps pinned to the task manager/bar also got unpinned but I’m not sure at which point that happened. I heard that linux has problems with nvidia GPUs so maybe it has something to do with it?
This is what I got from: “inxi -Fza”
