Had the hibernate issues on my work laptop so I have run into those before. I made sure to disable it. It's a custom built Watercooled rig so I have a Corsair 1200 watt power supply in it. Heat has never been an issue. It's getting a bit old but it's been pretty rock solid. This machine was only ever a gaming machine. It ran steam and that's about it. It was even powered off most of the day. Only ever turned it on when I was playing something. So the wear on it hasn't been too intense. I have only really used the proprietary Nvidia drivers so I'm not sure what the alternatives are (nobara I think has some custom ones but had lots of performance issues with nobara). My monitors are different sizes/resolutions/refresh rates. One is 5120x1440 120hz and the others are just generic 1920x1080 60hz When it would happen, It would boot to a screen that wasn't the default. At least one screen would be black. So I would log in and try to get it to recognize whatever monitor or monitors were missing. Sometimes it would work. Sometimes a reboot would fix it. Sometimes the system would hang or take several minutes to boot. It's been a couple weeks since I got frustrated and tried to use it so I can't remember what was making the boot hang. When all I use it for is to play games and I get random monitor disconnects it quickly becomes useless when something doesn't work right on every boot. I really don't know what changes tho. When it's first installed everything works. It lets me set up everything. All I really do is updates and then start setting up steam. Install some games through lutris and then will shut down. Sometimes I'll get a day or two of working fine out of it, then monitor issues start popping up. And I haven't really used Linux for entertainment before so I switch back to windows for a while and everything works. But. Windoze. So every once in a while I try Linux again and am not really sure how to deal with it as a gaming device. Read it would be better if I was running an AMD video card but just not in the budget for a rebuild right now, but I am due for one.
