Dual Monitor Issue - One of two displays blacks out when an application is fullscreen.
Note: couldn't find this in the open issue and not sure if this is bug or compatibility issue, possibly even NVIDIA driver on linux issue, but I wanted to investigate further. --- Configuration: Bazzite 41, Stable (F41.20250208), Gnome 47, Wayland, ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, 32GB Memory, NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti, displays are dual 27" LG 144hz IPS 2560x1440 connected over Display Port. --- Symptom: one of the two monitors will randomly blackout when an application is expanded to fullscreen. Typically happens after monitors wake from sleep. Happens on all applications, FireFox, Brave, Games, Obsidian, etc... Normally happens on secondary monitor, but has also happened on primary monitor from time to time. If an application is left in full screen at screen wake/login that display will start blacked out. Primary monitor normally remains active not blacked out --- Corrective Action: unplugging one of, typically the affected display and plugging it back in corrects the issue, temporarily, symptom returns when monitors sleep and wake typically my next login again.
