So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don’t want to have to never update my system. New distro? Suggestions to fix this? I ideally want an relatively bleeding edge distro.
Some ideas:
Are you using proprietary nvidia drivers? Display issues after switching kernels could be driver related. If so, switch to nouveau and see what happens.
See if the issues persists with another display manager, such as sddm.
