From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Issue with Samsung Odyssey G3 and squashed windows after a period of inactivity (i.imgur.com)

I have two screens, one of them is Samsung Odyssey G3. This model has some sort of "deep sleep", it takes more time to wake one up after a period of inactivity (i.e. AFK). As a result, all windows that are placed on this screen are squashed. See the attached screenshot.

I'm using Plasma, displays were configured through xorg.conf with nvidia-settings: https://pastebin.com/YQAjG1Bu The screen has "Eco Saving Plus" and "Off Timer Plus" features, which I've turned off.

Any suggestions how to fix this? I'm tired of manually resizing windows back every time.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my monitors. I think it's because one monitor gets registered later than the other. I'm sorry, I don't know of a fix.

It's okay. It makes me comfortable knowing that other people are struggling too!

Same here on manjaro Gnome. I also use my monitor Al's sound output. Sometimes it also switches to another device after waking up

Yea, it's really quite annoying.

Happens whenever my laptop goes to sleep and it's really annoying. As far as I could tell it's a KDE bug. The only fix (which didn't work for me) is apparently to stop it trying to dynamically detect displays.

I use XFCE, also struggling with this.
