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?

ShareX is amazing, it just needs a big UX improvement. If you're not technical of nature, the program is kinda too much at once. I can't recommend it easely to my family until it has a simpler interface option.

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

"Every important sideways manoeuvre" is what I learned from my driving instructor. I sometimes even feel a bit bad when I forget to use my indicator.

Can I make a small complaint here that the 3 blinks your car does is way too short to start and finish most actions?

Our preferred way of doing this is have a pot of near boiling water with the plate on top next to the pan I'm baking the pancakes on. Pile the pancakes directly on the plate.

This keeps the plate hot and maintains the temperature of the bottom pancakes while you're making a larger batch. remove the plate carefully after baking, wipe the bottom of the plate dry and put it on the table. Hot pancakes for the entire meal!

This is for dutch pancakes BTW, no clue how it would go for American or other more fluffy pancakes.

please killall

I see...

Stealth.

For how long can we ignore those consequences?

Generic mockery always works:

• "if they would paint a portrait of you they will need neither hammer nor nail, since the painting would hang itself"
• "The mud on thy face does make it better"
