Nah, your install is broken somehow. That's not in any way normal.

Diagnostics: Ubuntu/Arch? So you're triple booting? With I assume automatic updates enabled in Ubuntu and Windows, and manual in Arch? Spread over a plethora of disks?

Yeah, no, don't get in too deep with a complex configuration you can't handle and blame Linux for being an unusable daily driver. My girlfriend daily drives Linux. My dad daily drives Linux. It's fine.

It’s not a triple boot, I’ve had this happen on multiple times on a Windows/Ubuntu and Windows/Arch systems. Happened first on arch and just blamed it on Arch issues and switched to Ubuntu and it happened again and this is across different HW generations. automatic updates enables enabled on all configs and Linux will just have some weird issue that crops up that renders the OS not usable. I know what I’m doing and I’ve been running systems with Linux for over 20yrs. Linux has its issue and so does windows. Funny enough the majority of issues(at least in recent memory) have been on desktop systems. My first homelab server ran on my old dell laptop without any major issues for 5 years before migrating to a desktop.
