Hi there all hello list dwellers, i am not very fluent on the gui side of opensuse. When using current opensuse 15.2 systems but also in the years before, every now and then some test machine, simple standard kde gui level opensuse installation, no fancy setups. having such a machine on and up a long time, a kde user logged in, the screen locked, e.g. simple kde desktop gui application itself (dunno whats it even called or concepts for sure, think: this plasma desktop and whatever), eventually this kind of a system become erratic on its gui side of things. revisiting such a machinery, unlocking the desktop shows mess e.g. in a left open firefox gui, tabs becoming unklickable unchangeable, for example mething i remember a situation (dont really take my word for this everything as 100% but you get the idea, roughly ballpark, anyways continue the story) that i could still surf and use that one tab of that fricken firefox, but pretty much everything of it in the sense of frames, borders, resizing, moving around or its menues and elements that (my understanding of it, over the somewhat lengthy experience i myself had in the unix world, all about window managers, gui layers of the linux universe and such stuff) are triggering the operating system layers and libraries.... so these libariers might get exchanged and replaced by up- and in-coming opensuse patches, they get applied so far so fine. I always admired the unix world for being kind of able to overwrite and replace of nearly almost everything in its way in some still working healthy stable ways. in stark contrast to the windows world. so anyhow, these recent years i work myself the gui parts of linux a bit, and i kind of see (or guess) the downsize of all this. so these high level applications such as the desktop plasma application itself and the firefoxen for example, become erratic, only parts of them staying up working, the rest refusing their parts of work. during such times, only a restart of a mal functioning firefox helped, or even a restart of the display.service via systemctl, or even a reboot of a whole machine if that hadnt helped. i figured that it was some very deep down libraries or when kernel updates itself become applied, i think kernel packages also bring in files where some select externalized drivers reside and so on. So simple question is, how do other gui opensuse users live with this. How do you have a nice and incomplicated life where your desktop machine just continues to work. Recently whenever resorting to opensuse, I sometimes think, I reboot the opensuse at a higher frequency than some average windows machine (just kidding, no seriously, you like reboot windows at least once a month when the nightmare microsoft update day finally has arrived or you forced or lulled yourself into allowing yourself to go down that path). Anyone experience same erratics every now and then with high long uptime opensuse machines with gui usage? Is this a know behavior of opensuse, or am I doing it wrong? If the stuff is normal, can one resort to some replace-in-use-files in a different manner, that might avoid such behavior of the high level apps? After reboots and restarts of the various possible layers of the opensuse system, stuff comes back working normally. I observe this type of incidents with the gui opensuse machine, when I forget coming back to it for a number of weeks. Mostly I am still able to work around the little mess with it, sometimes I end up needing to reboot the machine in the end after all. Thanks for your insights on this matter on how you lead a long uptime and happy life with your gui opensuse system. TY.
