Second Monitor Freezes Until Restart
Thanks in advance for the assistance. I'm getting quite frustrated at this. I've searched the FAQs, but might have missed something. When playing a Steam game, the other monitor will randomly freeze up. Quitting the game does not unfreeze the second monitor. I have found two ways to unfreeze the second monitor. The first is to restart the computer. The second (which only works half of the time) is to unplug the monitors, wait about 5 seconds, then replug them. According to my Google search, this is something to do with NVidia's power management profiles. I'm supposed to switch to "Performance" mode instead of "On-Demand" mode, but I can't see that option anywhere. It's not in the Nvidia control panel software I have at the moment. This has persisted across all Fedora and Arch-based installations, but wasn't a problem under an Ubuntu-based installation. Assistance would be greatly appreciated. I like the Arch distros that I've tried more than the Ubuntu distros that I've tried, but this problem is just a dealbreaker. Currently running Bazzite with the Nvidia package selected prior to installation. GPU is an NVidia RTX 4070 Super. AMD CPU.
