  • I face value from your description, I find it difficult to say if a program screwed up your system or if one program is conflicting wifh syatem swttings.

    Apart from making sure all drivers and software is updated, uninstalling one program at a time to test for conflict, I would be inclined to erase drive and reinstall OS.

    Due to playing game seems to make it run fine makes me think it’s not a hardware failure, or games don’t push the hardware in way to trigger what is beginning to fail.



  • I don’t view using a FOSS frontend equating to logging into an account on a server running proprietary code. Using NewPipe is one thing, but if it was possible, using NewPipe o login to Google account is another.

    For example I refuse to use Proton VPN, I use Riseup VPN because the server for Riseup is open source.

    In my own opinion, I believe Protonmail not publishing email server source code and publishing Protonmail app source code is stopping it from having a massively larger popularity.

    OpenBSD is proof that security can be achieved through engineering open source code that is standards or protocol compliant and not by depending on proprietary code.
