It turns out all along this issue was caused by dithering being enabled on by default. Please if possible default to disabling dithering, it usually causes more harm than good on modern hardware.
This seems to have done the trick, at least as far as random freezes go.
I’m unsure on when I enabled it back and why, but at least the system is usable now.
I’m now facing a different issue, when powering on with external screens connected Fedora is booting into recovery mode and everything is unresponsive, I cannot even “press enter to continue”.
Thankfully this is “easily” circumvented by just unplugging everything, booting, logging in, connecting the screens, logging out (as they don’t seem to be recognized) and then logging back in.
It’s a hassle and a time-sink but it works for now.
Lenovo Legion laptops are perhaps the worst supported Linux desktop under the sun. I tried to use one a year ago, I wiped Linux off of it almost immediately.
KDE freezes and stops working when using HDMI external monitor. Laptop, Xserver, Manjaro, 6.14 kernel. 570.144 drivers.
Mirror external and internal monitors works better but still unstable, sole external monitor doesn’t work.
550 drivers worked normally before and worked in particular on 6.13 kernel and with dkms drivers version.

P.S. Yes, 550 dkms drivers still work normally with KDE and the external monitor on 6.14 kernel.

Hi! my nvidia-smi hangs after printing only the headers and not my RTX4060. Ubuntu 25.04
journalctl item: ‘mai 06 12:24:50 jkp /usr/bin/nvidia-powerd[2045]: Found unsupported configuration. Exiting…’
GPU is fully functioning, discoverable by all other methods, works on the same pc in windows and pop!os 24.04.
We just got a 5070 card. I installed 570.144 and I’m getting this from X windows:

I know, it’s an old kernel. Is that why I’m getting this error? It seems to compile and install just fine.
I’ve talked to other people that are using KDE and a 3070 and can enable HDR. The only time I could enable HDR was with the Nobara USB installation, while using it, I could enable HDR with the Nobara 41 Rescue disk.

Are you using the open source kernel module? From Blackwell the closed-source kernel module cannot be used. This happens e.g. if you upgrade from an older Nvidia card and still run the older driver.

Screen Freeze bug still not fixed on nvidia-open-570.144-5.
Update: Issue is recreatable in LTS kernel
