i'm on 550.107.02, the ubuntu-drivers command shows there are two 550 drivers one with -open after it, is that what you're talking about?

journalctl doesn't seem to report any GPU specific errors. nvtop shows no oddities that i could find.
i found that dragging the preview image on the fps showcase videos in nvidea's 4060 page makes firefox lag out with a glib-CRITICAL logged to the console. it says
(firefox:4349): GLib-CRITICAL **: 12:40:07.460: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed
[Parent 4349, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187
dunno if that has to do with anything tho

doubt it's the same problem i'm having because the lag spikes only affect blender, the rest of the DE works fine
i've recently acquired a 4060 ti for €300 from a seller that i've been told was reliable. after installing the gpu and updating the drivers to the latest recommended ones i've noticed odd lag spikes lasting several seconds when using blender, these did not happen when i used my previous gtx 1060 ti. How can i go about diagnosing if it's a gpu or driver issue? any benchmarks or tools i should use? i'm on linux mint 21.3 cinnamon.

tried it again the extensions seem to work now, maybe it was a bug with firefox?
anyway the widgets the add to home screen thing adds don't open in the normal firefox app, there's no search bar for example
i use firefox with a lot of extensions, making the shortcut widget with the built-in add to home screen function won't work because it'll open the site with extensions disabled. i've managed to make it work better by making the shortcut with internet disabled which opens the link in the actual firefox app but that gives the shortcut app a generic icon which looks bad. i've searched around and there are apps that make shortcuts but no luck finding a foss one.
dunno how people will react to a 9/11 joke here, hopefully the it won't be too negative

if you assume the second post has ulterior meaning it could be that someone might not know what a crash log is, but most people who have interacted with computers at least once would be at least vaguely familiar window's file description and understand that text file icon + >200 gb size is not normal
this is, of course, a rather big assumption.
most people don't put that much though in a post and expecting them to will make your online experience a confusing mess.

i think it depends on how the app is coded, on android anyway. Some apps have pretty granular control and some just gave like, two categories
