Hello
Let me start by stating that I’m very found of nix and nixos.
But recently, both firefox and chromium started crashing frequently in my system. I use nix in other computers and I don’t have this issue. This happens for most nix-rebuilds.
I don’t know whats happening.
Why is it so persistent?
Could it a hardware failure, maybe the ram memory. This machine is not old (~1 year). How could I find if this is indeed the case?
Here is a crash captured by journalctl -f
