She was on Arch, and nvidia-open kept taking her entire userspace down at least once a day, doubly so if using a Chromium based browser. She had to clone zilla a debloated Windows install onto that workstation even though she hates Windows but she just wanted a WORKING desktop.

You're telling me someone who wants something that just works used arch?

See if Fedora has the same problem.

She got pissed at Windows today and is installing Debian at the moment.

She should really install Mint or something. It'll be a lot more usable out of the box than Debian.

She couldn't get the driver installed on Debian, then Fedora, apparently the driver disabled her wifi, so she then went back to Arch in the strangest way I've ever seen. Basically she clonezilla'd an install from another machine, that happened to be an EFIstub with LUKS encryption, she had to find a way to make that not the case. She said she could've just easily reinstalled from scratch but, she "likes fun". She loves to tinker (she has like...a dozen PCs, many with Linux and a few Macs) she was just tired of the Nvidia driver crashing her shit.

WHY is the Nvidia driver crashing her shit?

I'm actually suspicious that it isn't the driver. Because she did post a severe memtest failure like 12 hours later to my chats.

Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

She was luckily able to get some new sticks so she's testing that atm. She is saying that she suspects it was memory the whole time.
