When a GPU hangs or crashes on Linux right now recovering from that and knowing the cause can be a bit of a challenge but soon that'll be a thing of the past. ==========Support The Channel=========...
The gist of it, if I understood it correctly, is some upcoming changes to the kernel (and Wayland) will allow for crashed GPU’s to not halt the system, but make it switch to software rendering for proper debugging, as well as kernel changes, so that the culprit of the crash can be diagnosed in userspace.
Others may correct me if I misunderstood something in the video, but that was my takeaway.
That link works but I still don’t have the time to watch a 13 minute video rn, hence my question.

That’ll be dope!
Thank you. Sounds promising.
