I switched to Linux back in 2017 and haven't looked back. Honestly, best decision ever. Thanks to Valve and Proton, Linux gaming is so much more accessible than ever before.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderLibreOffice has had problems with my second monitor as well through the year…… At what appears to be random periods of time that can last a month or two it will stop opening on my main monitor and will only open on my secondary monitor…… Which is really annoying when I dont have that monitor turned on….. And then in what seems like random will go back to opening on my main monitor…… It doesnt seem to coincide with any LibreOffice updates either so it might be another dependency update that is causing it….. But I dont know which……
Try backing up your X11 config and not using one at all. I am on AMD, so it might not help in your case, but deleting all my configs in /etc/X11 solved some annoying, inconsistent behavior for me. Just rename any configs you're using to something other than '.config' and then reboot.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderAnother intermittent issue I have had is when it comes to shutting down the computer…… Sometimes I get a line of text “A stop job is running for User Manager for UID 1000” and a timer counts to 90 seconds and then it finishes shutting down.
Oh man, that message looks very familiar. I haven't seen that in years though. You're gonna have to figure out which service takes a long time to shut down. After you solve that, you might be interested to disable the watchdog service, as it can often delay shutdowns as well.
