Hey. Starting relatively recently, when I wake from sleep, some windows (mostly the file explorer Gnome Files) are blurry as in the screenshot. Moving the window or passing the cursor over the blurry area often helps, but sometimes I need to close the window and re-open it.

Here are the sections of my various .nix files that look relevant. I'm worried I have a bad video card!

    nvidia.modesetting.enable = true;
    nvidia.powerManagement.enable = false;
    nvidia.open = false;
    nvidia.nvidiaSettings = true;

Below is what looks like the relevant part of my restore from suspend from dmesg. Let me know if I can provide anything else helpful!

I think I had a similar error on my laptop (MX150). If I recall correctly it would unscramble a bit while passing with the mouse over it.

I've since ditched the nvidia card and only use the also included Intel one.
