Jarvis, I'm low on karma. Make a quirky comment about windows 11.

Not my pain point, but my friend's.

He recently installed linux mint to try, mainly because of the dubious quality of windows 11. After using it normally for many hours (maybe for 2 ~ 3 days), his system just froze, the audio entered a loop, and he was only able to shut the computer down pulling it from the plug.

I have no idea why this happens, this used to happen to me as well on arch, but then it just stopped (maybe some package update fixed it?).

I've seem people pointing to proprietary nvidia drivers causing it, but I never understood how the driver could freeze everything in the computer.

True. Nvidia is not the problem, the system is. If it wasn't nvidia, it would be any other company.
