GPU has fallen off the bus.
If you're lucky, it's an nvidia driver problem. If you're not, it's a hardware problem.
I booted into a live usb and haven’t had issues so it seems like a driver issue (thankfully).
You tried updating, but do you have snapshots set up to roll back to a time you're sure it was working?
I’m 80% sure I do. I hadn’t updated for a few days (before today) and it had been working up until earlier today.
Still worth trying a known good os install. If not a snapshot from earlier, some live iso sessions.
If the problem persists even there, it'll indicate that your hardward is bowing out.
I spent some time in a live ISO and had no issues. Haven’t tried a snapshot yet though.
Good sign.
If you ever get tired of fixing broken things, try Bazzite Nvidia spin.
What GPU are you using? Did you change anything in your computer hardware recently? Have you tried moving it to a different PCIe slot?
I’m using a GTX 1660 TI.
Nothing has changed hardware wise for months. Last software update (before today) was 4-7 days ago.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
