It seems like I’m the only one with this issue, and it’s one of the only reasons I switched back to Windows

I’m using proprietary NVIDIA drivers, and an AMD cpu, thanks in advance for your help, I really want to see this community grow.

The logs file was too long to send in this reply, I hope this data is enough

post output from this:
inxi -M
maybe there will be an entry in the arch wiki for your machine…

and for the logs, just reboot and post them:
journalctl -b0 -p4 --no-pager

theres nothing in the logs, so what remains:

and why did you add these parameters:

to trying to fix the screen? is the issue present also without them?

9

This sort of graphics failure is caused by the video card.

10

Yes sir, even with a clean fresh install of Linux it happens

11

That can’t be possible as this only happens sometimes, and in Windows I’ve never had this issue
Do you think I should switch to open-source drivers for the time being?

12

Hey, this problem still persists even after a reset, and the open-source drivers are stuttery like a virtual-machine, does anyone else have this issue? I’d be grateful for help

13

Hey, just a little update:
with video-linux drivers my screen looks sharper than I can remember (I’ve been using the other driver for a month), but it’s extremely stuttery, is there anything I can do for the computer to feel… smoother?
