[SOLVED] Weird graphical artifacts after resuming computer from sleep.

For some reason after waking my computer from sleep I get weird artifacting that occurs on every program that was open when I put it to sleep. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I am currently running BSPWM and using nvidia drivers. The compositor i am using is picom and I am running it at login.

picom -CGb --blur-background

Please don't directly embed oversized images.

You could restart picom, but the generally underlying issue is a known problem with nvidia trying to restore VRAM state. They did develop an alternative implementation for preserving VRAM which you can configure by following: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … er_suspend

That's probably what I needed, thanks.
