Any seasoned #Linux users know why I keep getting these spots on my display?
I can get them to go away by adjusting the resolution scale but they keep coming back.
I’m using an Nvidia GPU which I figure may have something to do with it.

Hi :) Switch to the nouveau driver first. If the spots disappear, it's a driver issue. If they remain, test with a live USB like Ubuntu. If they still appear there, your VRAM is likely dying. For confirmation, run NVIDIA MATS to test your GPU

@oldthink34 Nvidia is a pain. Ask here: https://discuss.cachyos.org/ https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/rgb-glitch-on-the-screen-newer-kernel/4858
