Our cat has a craving for chocolate, milk and everything not good for her.

Yeah, Beaver City!

If the issue is more prominent when the cursor is showing, it could be the hardware cursor (default on KDE) causing the issue. When you use hardware cursors, the cursor is rendered on a different ‘plane’ on top of the rest, possibly causing desync. You could try disabling it with a environment variable (I think it was KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1), forcing to software render the cursor.

It’s a stationary unit that shoots projectiles. Pretty apt description

550+ has Explicit Sync, which indeed causes a variety of issues still. Newer versions does bring things like multi monitor VRR, increased performance in VR and Wayland hardware cursors (and probably more).

DX12 support is usually handled through VKD3D, which has an open issue on the latest Nvidia driver. The ticket suggests you have to run at least Kernel version 6.9.3.

Rolling back the driver version would probably be through downgrade together with nvidia-utils and lib32-nvidia-utils, you can chain them in one command to satisfy the dependency resolver. e.g. sudo downgrade nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils. Make sure to check if you run nvidia or nvidia-dkms.

You could try clearing the cache in Heroic? It’s under settings -> Advanced

journalctl is usually the way yes, you can also check dmesg if it’s part of your distro. Errors are usually highlighted in red, that’s something to scan for. You can use journalctl -ef to keep the log updating on your screen, if the issue is intermittent, it might take a bit before it shows up. If the issue is logged on boot, it should be in journalctl -b

Does htop/free show the correct amount of memory?

Also try applying load on the system, maybe it’s a thermal or power delivery issue.

Do you have a overclock enabled in your bios? Try disabling that and XMP if enabled.

That’s a troubling state! My first guess would be your system memory being not great seated, which Linux handles more gratefully.

Do you see any errors in the Linux log?

Going to the grocery store or the gym is faster by foot then by car.

please killall

I see…

Simplest solution would be to setup the nfs/smb as storage for backups and making a backup schedule. Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> SMB/CIFS

Datacenter > Backup > Add

“A bit loud” is understating it, those drives rip and tear (we use exos X18 drives). I pity the person trying to sleep next to those.

They are good though, while we had one (of 5) fail within the first week but that was quickly resolved.

The leak doesn’t even need to happen on their site, they could check the password hash against known leaked hashes (from have I been pwned for example) and block it

If there has been a data leak, they might block your current password because the hash has been leaked
