I recently installed Fedora 42 and I noticed that whenever I switch workspaces or switch to activities, there’s a quick graphical artifact that shows. It can be ignored easily, but I was wondering if anyone else encountered issues similar to this?
I’ve been reading around and some suggested downgrading the mesa drivers from 25 to 24. However, when I tried downgrading by running ‘sudo dnf downgrade mesa*’, it states that it cannot be downgraded any further than what I have installed.
EDIT: I know that this thread exists, and I have tried solutions posted there like downgrading the mesa versions, but as stated above, for some reason I can’t. So I assume those solutions only work for Fedora 41.
EDIT2: So I ran the Fedora 42 Live ISO on my mini-desktop (Minisforum) to see if the issue exists there. I did not get any graphical artifacts. Is it possible that this is related to the Framework 16 laptop?
Seeing similar issues on the Framework 13 AMD, running freshly installed Fedora 42. I also had the issue a few weeks ago on Fedora 41 and could fix it by downgrading mesa, which I can’t do anymore (as you mentioned in your post too).
Another thing I have noticed is that I tried plugging a monitor to my laptop to see if I see the artifact on my monitor. I did not notice any artifacts on my monitor, while there were artifacts on my laptop screen.
