I’m not saying they’re a virus but that’s the way all 530 drivers behave in Linux. In Arch, at least. On a fresh system install at first it was OK but then suddenly everything started flashing like in a disco club, the terminal window was both flashing and moving very fast from top right to bottom left corner. I was unable to record a video bc I couldn’t catch up with the terminal window nor open the menu (because of the flashing everything problem). I managed to capture a screenshot which represents a fraction of the second in terminal’s journey from top right to bottom left corner.
The same thing also happens if I update the driver from an Arch system where the driver is 525.89.02 (this version works perfectly fine) and added to ignorepkg, so that it never updates. But if I update it intentionally to 530.41.03-1, the travelling and flashing of windows and stuff starts happening almost immediately after the system reboot.
All drivers before 530 don’t have this problem and work just fine.
