what nvidia do you have ? I don't remember any freeze problem in many
months or years .
Now problems and freezes with old nvidia cards I got some , in a old
laptop I need to use kernel 4.14 TLS ...
GeForce GTX 960
Only seems to happen when using one of two monitors for full screen
video. nVidia driver goes to 100%.
Also having issues with switching between users and sddm but I am
waiting to upgrade to 33 to try to debug.
I have many problem with the present iteration of KDE on Fedora but
waiting for F33 on this computer.
