Display freezes randomly on a Thinkpad P16 Gen 2
Ever since I have installed Bazzite on my Thinkpad P16 Gen 2, a rare issue comes up randomly where the screen just freezes while mostly everything else continues to function (sounds will play, programs will run, the system will respond to keyboard inputs, etc). Additionally connecting a monitor via the HDMI port on the laptop while this happens results in the monitor simply displaying a blank screen (not a "No Signal" screen). The only things that don't function in this state is plugging in new USB devices and some keyboard shortcuts like for the volume and brightness. After force-shutting down the laptop and powering it back up, most programs that were opened when the issue occurred had their window resized to 640x480.
Looking at the journal of the last boot shows a bunch of "Pageflip timed out!" errors after the issue started occurring (which was at 21:28:44 in the journal as it happened right after exiting fullscreen of a running game). Sadly kernel messages were lost as they vanished from the journal while I was viewing it in the KDE journal viewer (most likely due to another Nvidia bug where the driver spams errors to dmesg when any chromium-based application is open).
Is there any fix to this issue?
