Is it common for KDE to crash? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using linux mint cinnamon for a few months but a few days ago I decided to try endeavourOS. Since the switch I experienced a few crashes where the screen went black and then login page showed up and after getting back my opened apps were all closed. Today I also noticed that my apps pinned to the task manager/bar also got unpinned but I'm not sure at which point that happened. I heard that linux has problems with nvidia GPUs so maybe it has something to do with it?

The only time I've had any kind of crash was when I did a major KDE update while in KDE, but even then it consisted of the shell crashing and reloading itself. Which I took as a sign that I should restart KDE.

Welp, in that case a crash in a session without any updates shouldn't happen. I will be looking into logs later. But first I need to get some good sleep and find out where the relevant logs are.
