    Possibly not a “solution” (or workaround rather) you want, but… I just switch all that stuff off.

    The cool thing about Linux and FOSS is “many eyes make all bugs shallow”, and so if you search for the issue, someone else may have already reported it, in the community, or even in the issue tracker, and if not, you can do that, to help others, and then the developers (which can be anyone, even you, btw) can have a better handle on how to mend it.

    Every problem, an opportunity, to give back. That’s how we got here, in these 4 decades since Richard Stallman announced the start of the GNU project.

      What stuff do you switch off? (Did you have this bug previously?)

      I tried researching this issue a while ago, it was hard to find anything, but it’s not a bug worth spending any more time on unfortunately since it’s an easy fix whenever it happens.

      Wish I was smart enough to contribute hehe, sadly don’t even have the time anyways to sit down and figure it out (someone might already be figuring it out, it’s slowly getting rarer and rarer that the bug occurs, still at least one every other day, though much better than the at least multiple times a day from before).

        stuff like

        xset s off
        xset -dpms
        xset s noblank
        

        and/or there may be other ways in guis to do so too.

        can put that in some startup shell bobbins, or wherever its supposed to go in configs. but i tend to just run it in terminal (from fish history) once it bothers me enough to switch it off. … am not on my usual computer just now, so i had to look that up. plucked that from 2nd result of a websearch for “x11 noblank off”.
