Here is what it looks like.
Thank you for your help.
Downgrade mesa to major version 24. Hopefully that resolve the issue.

I am having similar looking graphical problems. I have an AMD 7840U model Framework with bios version 3.05. I am on Arch Linux, last updated today (2025-03-14). I am using kernel 6.13.6 and mesa version 25.0.1.
I have attached a screenshot.
I downgraded to Mesa 24.3.4 and it appears to be working better. I will report back to this thread if it acts up again.
Same issue on Fedora Silverblue 41 with the Ryzen 5 7640U.
Has a bug report already been submitted to Mesa to track progress of this?
I’ve commented on this issue. Not sure if the bugs are related.
If downgrading Mesa isn’t desirable (for example on NixOS), seems another fix is to downgrade to kernel 6.11.11. Source: reddit thread about the same problem
I had this same issue, on Bluefin-DX. Not only did I have the pixels, but I also had screen flicker and the OS wasn’t able to detect my screen resolution correctly.
What triggered it was weird; it wasn’t an update, but simply connecting it to an HDMI output I hadn’t used before.
Here’s what solved it for me, see if it works for you:
No, I can’t explain why the above fixed it, but it did work for me.
I had the same issue (same Kernel, OS etc. as OP) and this seems to have helped for me:
Same issue on Arch, kernel 6.13.7, latest BIOS. It seems to be mostly related to Firefox, and also seems much worse after restoring from hibernate. I had the amdgpu.sg_display=0 in my kernel parameters, so I’ve tried removing that, will report back. I am on mesa 25.0.1-2, and will try downgrading if that doesn’t fix.
I’d say you have a different issue. I already have this setting enabled and some amd debugmask, because of screen flickering issues caused by VRR and panel self refresh. But I still get these artifacts. I’d say there are currently multiple issue with amd graphics drivers, maybe both in the Kernel, maybe this one is in Mesa. But right now the freedesktop systems are being migrated, nobody will have looked into the issue that was reported at Mesa’s git before next week or even later.
Very odd. How much did you uninstall for that? Did you completely remove Firefox and all its data and set up a new profile or did you just reinstall the package?
Here instructions for how to downgrade mesa on fedora and version lock it to the 24.x version from one of the other threads:
removing amdgpu.sg_display=0 did not fix the issue (but it does seem its no longer needed) but downgraded mesa to 24 did.
It does seem to mostly be an issue w/ Firefox/Chrome and gets way way worse after recovering from hibernation.
A solution might have already been found. Though I’ve only seen yet that the fix is currently being rolled out to OpenSUSE, probably for verification if that’s enough. But also, people aren’t sure if the Kernel may be partially at fault too.
Might be related to this:
I did not try yet the fix myself, I want to research the issue further, I will post updates in this thread if I find a fix
This is THE fix: [amdgpu] Heavy artifacting in desktop applications since bump from 24.3.4 to 25.0.1 (#12809) · Issues · Mesa / mesa · GitLab
Applying some debugmask may help, but the issue is that a feature that’s only meant to be used with dGPUs is also applied to iGPUs. So it is less likely that it will be enough to help.
I’m having the exact same issue

My display keeps glitching out and occasionally I will get choppy audio as well. It seems to get worse when I have an external monitor plugged in. I first started noticing this after an upgrade to Fedora 41 but I can’t find anyone online with the same issue. Most of the time the system is usable, but sometimes the graphical artifacts get out of hand. I was previously running KDE plasma and tried switching to Cinnamon with X11 to see if that would resolve the issue. Cinnamon has been running with fewer hiccups and I can usually resolve excessive blockiness by restarting Cinnamon. I ran a full memory test with MemTest86 for multiple runthroughs and it says that my memory is OK.
