Hi, I have fedora35 installed on my desktop with a Radeon RX 570 driving three monitors, with the Cinnamon desktop, although it could be the other variation of Cinnamon that's available by default - I checked the Settings menu and can't find any way to determine which it is.
You're on X11? To find your environment: env | egrep -i "xdg_curr|session_type" "session_type" is important: wayland or X11? If that does not help, I'd try loginctl then loginctl show-session <number received via "loginctl"> -p Type
[ ... ] Now, when I set the "turn off the screen when inactive for" option to 5m in the Power Management settings, I find that it takes far longer than five minutes for it to actually turn off the monitors, but then not only do they all immediately turn back on, but all of the windows on the middle monitor are shifted to the two left and right monitors. wtf? It's incredibly frustrating to have to reposition all windows back to their original location.
There might be other settings that clash with "Power Management settings" (no idea what you mean by that: probably some GUI where you set that?) On X11 I'd try xset q and then have a look at the "Standby", "Suspend", and "Off"(?) settings. Also: As Stan already wrote, I'd look at journalctrl output when things go wrong. I'd try: sudo journalctl -f -n 5000 If you're on wayland I cannot help. Sorry about that.
How do I troubleshoot this?
I running X11. And so far I tried to more or less rigorously avoid X settings via some GUI. I run xrandr to attach external monitors to my computer - so if you're on X11, be welcome to come back before I go into details about that.
