Arch Linux

Hi everyone,

ever since I switched to Arch a two months ago, most applications segfault multiple times a day. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for the crashes, sometimes it's even happening while idling (e.g. reading a news article).

Things I've tried without any luck so far:

• Running Firefox in safe-mode without any extensions
• Switching from regular to LTS kernel
• Disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox
• Change RAM speed and timings
• Run Memtest successfully
• Replace entire RAM with a new certified kit
• Use only a single RAM slot
• Apply Ryzen fixes (iommu=soft, limit c-states)
• Use only a single CPU core (maxcpus=1)
• Downgrade Nvidia driver to 535xx
• Use Nouveau instead of the nvidia driver
• Use Openbox instead of KDE
• Disable zswap and THP

Here's full journalctl from a day where both Spotify and Firefox crashed at the end, a few seconds after each other:

Some more info about my system:

• Ryzen 5 3600X
• MSI B450M PRO-VDH Max
• 32GB RAM @ 3200MHz
• Geforce RTX 2070 SUPER (using nvidia-dkms)
• Plasma 5.27.10 on X11

I'm pretty sure that it's not hardware related, because I've booted up a Debian 12 live image where everything ran for several hours without a crash. But it seems to be Arch related, as I also booted up a fresh EndeavourOS live image (so basically Arch), where applications also randomly segfaulted. Any idea why everything works fine on Debian but not on Arch? Debian uses the 6.1 kernel, which I already tried, so that's not it.

Let me know if you need any more information that might help solve this issue. Thanks!
