It’s highly specific to your setup and the game/software. Most games aren’t a problem. Just the occasional random issue, like in WoW certain locations insta-crash my graphics driver.
My setup is pretty clean hardware wise (Zen 3, matched RAM, stable/no overclocking, 6800xt), mainline mesa drivers, only thing that’s really unstable is wlroots-git / sway-git. Which is sometimes the problem, and other times it’s mesa. I also have 3x 1440p monitors, 240/120/120Hz, so if there’s any throughput-related bug I’ll probably run into it. Being on Arch I’ll probably also run into bugs related to updates in dynamically linked libraries fairly early, sometimes before they’re fixed.

That’s so odd. Yea, I do agree it’s the setup. Lots of people mix ram sticks, weird drivers, etc.

I also run arch and xfce4, having more than 1 monitor fucks with my refresh rates. Also, your setup sounds pretty nice
