Speaking as someone who runs 100% (except when I don't) I wonder if |
| 26 |
this is driven at all by the use of testing packages? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have only Asus & Intel MB's and laptops here. They all use the |
| 29 |
NVidia closed source testing driver except one which uses the Intel |
| 30 |
driver. None of them are experiencing any lockups at any time that I |
| 31 |
know of. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This is pretty typical of where I don't run stable: |
