  Oh interesting, I guess a general bug then.

  This is over many years so memory might be bad, but I never had this on my old rx 580, then started getting it sometime after swapping to an nvidia gpu. Guess it was just coincidence, if I’m remembering it right anyways. That always fueled my suspicion it was nvidia.

  Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s eye opening. I guess I have no problems specific to nvidia then (pre and post open source driver).

    I poked around the Net a bit here and there, tried a couple different solutions people suggested, but the only thing I managed to change was that the moment I clicked “Sleep”, the image on my monitors would completely freeze (as in: screens on, desktop and applications on full display), and the only solution was to do a hard reboot.

    So, basically, I just stopped clicking “Sleep”… :D

      Lol thats a good solution.

      I haven’t seen anything like that happen to me luckily, I can sleep fine, but on wake it’s a black screen with my cursor (luckily² this is recoverable without rebooting).

  Probably not even mint-specific since it happens on pop os too

    I had that on Kubuntu, Tuxedo OS and now I have it on Garuda Linux, so yeah.
