Every second boot (so one works and the next doesn't), I'm greeeted with a black screen right after the systemd messages and I have no idea why.
I am not sure but I believe it started right after an upgrade of either linux or nvidia-open.
The odd boot where there is a black screen:

Does anyone know what is going on here? Why does it only happen every second boot? Do I need to post this issue somewhere upstream?
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Driver Version: 580.105.08
CUDA Version: 13.0

I have a similarly presenting issue, but in my case the black screen actually has a mouse cursor on it and it turns out that there's a segfault in libnvidia-glcore.so.580.105.08 which causes SDDM to brick. For me, just restarting the SDDM service from a different tty fixes it and allows login. I don't think it's the exact same issue, but the common factor is the latest nvidia driver update so it seems like a safe bet there's something seriously wrong with it.
