Looks like this guy has a lot of problems with Linux. He also looks to
be a game player. Maybe he should stick with Windows.
 
I don't have problems with Linux stability (and haven't had any
stability problems for about 18 years). If I did I wouldn't still be
using Linux. But I don't play Windows video games, so that might be the
key to his (and your)
Linux issues.

I glanced at the videos, saw it was Linus, decided I didn't
need to see any more.

I play a small amount of Windows games on Linux, and those work
fine through SteamPlay proton.

I will say I ran across some cruftiness today.  I installed
Plasma and poked around in that desktop for a while, configuring
it the way I liked it.  I found elements that I couldn't configure
that I can in xfce4, so I finally logged out and logged back in
to xfwm.

There, in xfce4, it was using Plasma's notification popups.  It took
me a few minutes to revert it, basically by uninstalling Plasma
desktop and rebooting.
