The past 24 hours I have noticed a lot of screen bleeding

There’s been a lot of updates recently and over the past 24 hours I have notice a lot of screen bleeding. Was wondering if anyone else having same issue? The Nvidia drivers have been updated a couple of times this week. Do you think a change of kernel will resolve the issue?

Looking at your hardware, I dont see anything that would need the hardware support of the 6.0 kernel. Its relatively new, and new often comes with bugs. You might want to run the 5.15 LTS kernel and see if the problems persist.
