Edit: I guess this topic is similar aswell. All of cases are on Acer Nitro, huh.
The screen freezes, the system stops responding to keyboard, hotkeys, mouse button presses. Although, Alt + SysRq + (S U B) still does restart the system.
I'm still able to move the mouse cursor, and previously played sounds do continue to play, but that's it. The issue happens only when playing games on fullscreen and using Nvidia GPU (
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia *command*
or launching through the menu with corresponding option). When playing in windowed mode, even if the window is maximized, everything is just fine.Can't tell if it's specifically "gaming-related", since I didn't really test this aspect, but it happens with all sorts of games - Minecraft, games on Unity and Unreal Engines, and also when playing anything fullscreen through wine.
My current driver is nvidia-driver-525. I've tried installing 470 as suggested in the previous topic, but had no luck - even more, with 470 the cursor stops moving too. nvidia-driver-525-open doesn't allow me to launch anything with GPU altogether. Saw a recommendation disabling all Cinnamon effects - at first thought it worked, but after just a bit more time it got frozen again. Also tried updating OEM kernel, but it didn't work either, and also messed up my sounds so I rolled it back.
Initially I was using Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon (Edge) Edition, and the issue was there aswell.
