I recently went from one version of Kernel to another 5.4.124-1-MANJARO to 5.10.42-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT and now I just get black screens after ‘Waking Up’.

This system is a Frankenstein, and certainly due for at least a new Mobo (on the most recent BIOS I believe)/CPU - which will happen eventually. I could go back to 5.4.124-1, but 5.10.42-1 seems much snappier…?
