Alright Ubuntu is officially too crashy for me to run, freezes multiple times a day and I can't fix it.
Almost 100% certain it has to do with Nvidia drivers
Does anyone run a stable Linux distro and has an RTX 3000 series Graphics card?

SteamOS. I’m serious.
Bro I’ve been trying to install Ubuntu for 2 weeks but after I install and take out the drive it doesn’t boot or gives me black screen, I’m SURE it’s bc of nvidia drivers I have a 3070 ti and it’s a pain in the ass
Always hated Ubuntu. Always
Happy with Fedora
Try redcore
For finicky GPUs especially, Pop OS is a good option. Also Manjaro's MHWD thing works great.
Before abandoning ubuntu altogether, you might want to try 20.04. For me it seems to be the goldilocks of linux for my MSI laptop. The kernel 5.15 also pretty damn reliable.
Kernels, tracker search engine, and a couple other things... problems that ubuntu has had forever and somehow never fixed.
Tracker, in particular, is a real pain in the ass if you have source code in your home folder. If you don't tell tracker to not touch those areas, it will bog down memory and processing to index it, every day, especially when you are playing games.
I told you before LTS is the way to go.
Are you using the free driver or the Nvidia one? Did you try switching to the other?
Tried all the additional drivers, all same results... Crashy crashy
Linux mint; running a 1060 no issues.
Have the same issue. Linux Mint. Uninstalled the nvidia drivers. Runs better, less freez/ crashing. But still random freezes. Started a month ago. Could be a result of latest major update.
