Is it common for KDE to crash? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using linux mint cinnamon for a few months but a few days ago I decided to try endeavourOS. Since the switch I experienced a few crashes where the screen went black and then login page showed up and after getting back my opened apps were all closed. Today I also noticed that my apps pinned to the task manager/bar also got unpinned but I'm not sure at which point that happened. I heard that linux has problems with nvidia GPUs so maybe it has something to do with it?

Not generally, however you might want to avoid any early dot-zero releases (e.g. 6.0.x). These tend to be a bit buggy with KDE Plasma, but the bugs get fixed soon. NVidia drivers should be better with the very latest updates, they are supposed to work well on Wayland now. But I don't buy Nvidia, just AMD, so I'm not following this stuff closely.

Thank you for info. Since making the post I got distracted with other stuff and didn't get into troubleshooting too much. Last crash was today so any help is still appreciated. <3
