It seems like I’m the only one with this issue, and it’s one of the only reasons I switched back to Windows
When I boot up my linux system (Arch-based KDE system) I see these green vertical overlays, and they (very) slowly fade with time
When I sampled the colors they were identical so a screenshot won’t show it, here’s a photo from my phone to demonstrate the issue:

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?
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
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?
I could be wrong, but it could be a wrong detection of the screen. Maybe try this:
Add nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm and nvidia_drm to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf at the variable MODULES. And run
sudo mkinitcpio --allpresets
That will load nvdias modules as early as possible.
Then add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to /etc/default/grub at the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. And run:
sudo update-grub
This will enable KMS (kernel mode setting), which is the default for any open source driver nowadays.
Why? Because I saw on the net related issues to the non-modesetting intel driver on Ubuntu for example, where removing that driver solved the issue of green stripes. It could be worth a try to run nvidia with KMS.
Also for xorg create a file like that:
file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
So I’ve been distro hopping a litte, and I kept coming back to this issue, which links to my last post here, the green vertical bars when I boot into the computer
I’ve tried Manjaro and Pop_OS! (Nvidia ISO) but the issue persisted, but on Nobara(Fedora based) and Arch, it seems to work perfectly.
I still want to come back to Manjaro because it’s more stable than Arch, but this issue just won’t go away.
I’d really like some advice from you all, thanks!
