So let's get into the topic, I get black screen in random time (very random) but i notice i get it whenever my GPU get used for sometime by playing roblox (yes finally you can play it on linux, thanks wine) or by just watching netflix after ~10m my screen goes black and i still can hear the sound of movie but after some seconds my keyboard num light stuck (so that means my whole OS stuck) and yeah i restart again so i want to know why it happens is it problem with my gpu? or is it driver problem or how do i know if its drivers problem
it was my GPU all along

but i don't think its a bug as its more my own system problem? also yes i did search online some said do dmesg and some said its distro problem but i wanted to tackle it down to see if its drivers problem or well my GPU problem (thanks for the guide btw)

So, did “someone” find a fix and what was it?
(Personally, I always blame GNOME, that !@#$%^)

they changed the distro if u know what i mean
or maybe i need to ditch gnome or make it work with wayland
UPDATE: hmm, i followed instructions to change my distro from gnome to KDE and sadly i still have same problem so i think its not related to gnome
There should be some error messages in journal and Xorg.
PS: No logs == no issue

I told myself hey @esmailelbob wait and try again and my suspect was right. it was my GPU all along, the wires itself were dead so yeah it was not garuda's problem nor gnome's fault
