Windows needs a change in priorities

Not the parent comment but I'm getting random freezes on two different machines with different guts; sometimes system resumes and sometimes it requires a hard reset. Doesn't matter if its Manjaro or Linux Mint or Fedora, or which kernel I'm using.

My GPU is no longer supported and I couldn't revert to last working Nvidia drivers in Manjaro because things were changed. Not sure how the open source version is capable of rendering 3D or compatible with Lutris/Wine.

It's not the "barely works" in my case but there are issues around that are giving me a feeling I'm using Windows 98 and ME again.

I can see 3 possible things there 1) Nvidia being Nvidia If both PCs have Nvidia... Back when I had Nvidia, I had exactly same problem. Random freezes, no matter which distro/kernel, sometimes needed reset. 2) RAM issue As much as its unlikely on both machines, testing RAM doesn't hurt 3) Hard drive degradation Similar results as in 1), but buying new disk solved the issue.

One machines has mentioned Nvidia GPU, the second is ATI, RAM is also different on both machines and tested already. The issue occurs on both SSDs and HDDs.
