From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Computer briefly black-screens and closes everything (lemmy.world)

I'm on arch, using KDE. AMD CPU and GPU.

For the last few months, my computer will occasionally go into a TTY briefly and show a few things (way too fast to read) and then shoot me back to the desktop where every program that was running is closed. Almost like a mini crash.

Super weird. I tried looking in /var/log, but couldn't find anything relevant.

Anyone know what's up with this?

Are you on wayland by any chance? I had that same problem and it went away when I changed back to xorg (Debian 12 - KDE - AMD APU)

I'd be happy to receive feedback on the downvote.

Probably a Winblows lover. I'll try to offset the down vote for you.

Not sure why you got downvoted. Maybe it was the missing period. You know how flaky people can be. Thanks for your comments though and hope life is treating you well otherwise.
