> "You have picked a bad distro and DE combo" Ha! At one time I cursed those who threw this at me; now I know better, and throw it at others! All joking aside, I really dislike Fedora and Gnome. It does have a lot of problems. But, onto your problem: I would start at looking at the xserver logs, and ask about any recently changed settings/configs/options or updates/rollbacks. The logs are usually fairly good at telling you if something is !!!WRONG!!!. Those are usually the most likely culprits, if the DE was working fine until all of a sudden it didn't anymore. If it's a fresh install and right-off-the-bat it's buggy, then it's probably a HW issue (or the distro is terribad). I would try xforwarding, and other built-in remote desktop options, to see if I could tinker around and get real-time feedback on how the display was looking. On the other hand, if it's Wayland: I must yield, bow my head, wish you well, and withdraw from such an exercise.
