A couple months ago I changed from intel to amd(Ryzen 5 7640U), no GPU only integrated, and I have been experiencing an issue where, randomly, my screen flickers white, sometimes dark spots on the screen become pixilated, and the flickering gets faster until my whole screen is white, sometimes if I start a wayland session in a new tty (I use x11), the wayland session is also completly white, but sometimes it’s unaffected. I have to reboot to fix, starting a new x11 session after closing the first one doesn’t help. it’s been happening for awhile but until recently it doesn’t happen often. I don’t know why it has been happening more often. because of the switch from intel to amd, I am guessing I need to fix my graphics drivers. I am on 6.6.16-2-MANJARO.
Here’s my inxi -Fazy output
