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?

The funny thing is I'm already on X11 because when it launched on wayland I couldn't do anything because of messed up resolution. It was very low and most of the interface was outside the screen and while trying to troubleshoot what's going on I found this switch on login page and was using X11 ever since. I have 4 monitors connected to my pc and my main one is a FullHDUW monitor and second one like that on top of it. For some reason the second monitor is always visible to the system even though it's turned off but I didn't knew at the time so I haven't tried disconnecting it to see if it was the fault.

Huh, pretty weird one then. What card model and driver version? Does nvidia-settings work? Is 3D performance about where it should?

RTX 2060, will check drivers after getting home.

Few years back I had to fiddle with the kwin rendering backend and select egl for nvidia.

ELI5? What does that mean and how did you do it?
