Regardless of VRAM size? It happens also with 6GB VRAM, so an OOM condition (even if it were by mistake) straight after booting into GNOME Shell would be a very, very bad scenario. I don't know a reproducer yet. When it occurs, it doesn't make the system unstable or slow, it doesn't cause any other harm. It's just odd to observe a single damaged character. Such symptoms typically imply some sort of data/memory corruption in some place. The last time I had asked about Nvidia+Fedora was in 2018 when booting an installation would end up with a terribly slow GNOME Shell: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/EC7T7MN3DXN6XU5QHNG2DE3VHMTXOIDV/ That isn't reproducible anymore, but other issues (might) remain. Some can be worked around by switching to Xorg. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
