I would have disagreed with you except atleast once a day (usually more), my monitors go blank and once the display is back after few seconds, all the windows get shoved to the smaller monitor on the right, all resized to the monitor size. I move the windows again one by one to the main monitor, resize them to how they were and curse NVIDIA while praying that this doesn't happen again too soon. Even changed from Pop! desktop to KDE which didn't help (that's why my unsubstantiated choice is to curse NVIDIA instead of the DE). Cherry on top if I'm connected to the work machine over Citrix so I have some more windows to resize and reposition over there too. Close to two decades of using Linux desktop on a daily basis and I still have to deal with these issues. As someone who doesn't have any intention to leave Linux due to these issues, I don't think there EVER will be a 100% rock-solid time for Linux desktop. Wayland will stabilize and then people will point out issues with it, come-up with another component and we will wait for that to stabilize - and on and on, forever. Ironically, such issues rarely happened, if ever, when I was using Ubuntu Dapper Drake.

>my monitors go blank and once the display is back after few seconds, Are you sure you aren't having power issues? I had similar problems I think I fixed with randr, but a UPS for your monitors might be a better choice. Never daily though, more storm based or once every few months.

  That is an interesting point - though no other devices are affected so it is unlikely that this is related to power.

    I'm only sharing my experience, but the reason I figured out it was a power thing was in the summer my AC would stop for a second too. I never noticed any problems with anything else in the winter.

I see this happening on few low-end machines (Intel core i3 integrated graphics and Celeron integrated one), not know the cause though...

  I have a Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 with i7 processor and NVIDIA Max-Q graphics so I think the issues common on low-end machines are unlikely to apply in this case.
