I'm going to attempt an os refresh and see if that does anything.
Will report back.
So I turned off fractional scaling (i did that before as well and nothing changed) and ran more updates and then shut down and rebooted- issue seems to be stopped for the moment.
if it comes back, I will create an update post. Thanks!
edit - it did come back but see response below.
I wonder if your Samsung TV got an update that is causing a conflict. Is it connected to the internet?
I think I actually fixed it?
i tried to do an os refresh but kept getting some generic error bc the backup partition wouldnt update?
after a bunch of fumbling around I actually slowed down and took a second to read the errors and saw an error for a game i had removed.
so after ducking around (intentional duckduckgo pun) i found the sudo apt purge command and zapped it
then i followed https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/ and some things happened and downloaded and i rebooted
and its working now? I will know for sure if its working if doesn't start happening again in an hour.
but i think it might be good to go based on that experience.
Edit: continues to work. Might be solid. Will report back tomorrow.
Follow up - issue came back. I'm thinking it may be hardware or driver at this point. I am going to mess with that this evening and I will report back.
If that doesn't work - I will do the os refresh bc I haven't actually done that yet.
Edit: this is more of a log for myself at this point, but I am refreshing the os now.
edit two, the editing: refresh complete. will update tomrrow.
Okay it's actually fixed now. Games are running smoothly and shaders are loading better. It must have been a funky driver.
Unrelated but reading through what might be the issue I'm stealing ducking around, idk how I never thought of that!
Hahaha - update on issue, it was my switch, but not the switch, I think WHEN I used the the switch (like toggling between my other machine) it made things mad until I rebooted. Then when I rebooted it was fine until I used the switch again. So I just changed the things I used on the switch and everything is kosher now.
