I'm trying to run Blender on my Linux machine, specifically an Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050. I've been encountering frequent crashes, especially when switching between windows. I'm looking for insights or solutions to resolve this issue.

What distro and desktop environment are you using? Your laptop has various hardware configurations, so providing more details, especially about your GPU and RAM, would help. When you say you're switching windows, are you referring to different applications, monitors, or desktops? Also, are you using X11 or Wayland? Understanding this can clarify the situation.
It sounds like it might be a problem with your Nvidia drivers. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed. If you haven't tried it yet, using a distro like Nobara can help since it comes with those drivers pre-installed.
I'm on Cachyos with GNOME. My setup has 16GB RAM and the 6GB RTX 4050. I'm just switching applications, and I'm using Wayland.
