if I leave the lofi girl youtube stream running for a couple of hours or some amount of time, my computer ends up rebooting randomly on firefox on arch linux. This only happens on firefox and not chromium. The dmesg logs and journal logs don't have anything that would be helpful I don't think.

could a memory leak on an application cause my computer to reboot

#

even if i have systemd-oom activated?

could it be possible that a wayland session crash causes a reboot

uh

#

I don't think so? That would be more likely to send you back to the terminal than fully reboot
