both are shit

I used a recent nvidia blackwell GPU with linux, periodic crashes. Blackwell generation is shit.

Used recent builtin AMD GPU... Even worse, super reproduceable X crashes when using firefox

In good faith, you can't really say "[x] is shit" if you don't have an usual setup; X11 is no longer the default on most distros. Even when I was also using it, it never crashed.

I don't know whether your GPU is older than mine or not but I have the RX 7700XTX. Maybe it had a software defect...

Linux Mint uses X11 for some reason. I was getting black screen after sleep because of that. Nuked it and installed Ubuntu, worked fine.

Mint has experimental Wayland support right now. The future for Mint is Wayland.

That's good to hear. When I was troubleshooting this, I kept seeing forum posts screaming about how they're sticking to X11 cause Wayland is bad. Uh, idk idc, ship has sailed already.
