I gave Mint a shot and while its hardware support was the best (least Nvidia pain of any distro) the whole thing just felt so single-threaded. It was just too easy to lock up the UI. Maybe I was playing with bad plug-ins though, but they were official ones.
Then again, I managed to crash KDE Plasma by installing the vertical clock plugin.
I don't think I use any plugins and I never have the UI lock up, contrary to Windows 11, where it happens all the time.
I don’t use anything special, but with 3 monitors I’ve noticed that I can freeze the GUI by opening too many things at once
Like if I open discord, YouTube, and spin up a hypervisor at the same time it’ll occasionally freeze the screen but audio is still going
Are you using NVIDIA or AMD? In the past I had problems with trying to get NVIDIA cards working with Linux and encountered problems like freezing too, but been fine with AMD.
