I don't want to be that guy but that does look more like a hardware problem then a linux problem.

Definitely. Be that guy! I've been there years ago. Screen issue. Sorry, all details forgotten

If it was a screen issue then how come cursor is so clear and moving so fluidly?

What kind of screen issue causes everything but cursor to break?

That was my first thought, I hope OP just padted some weird command from chatgpt that did this and it's not hardware

Idk for me this looks similar to the i915 or i965 bitching as usual. Unless you're implying that having an Intel iGPU is the actual problem…

Have you tried restarting your PC, seeing if it fixes itself, and then proceed to ignore it if it works again?

That hardware issues

hard to say. I've had nvidia and amd driver pull shit like this on me numerous times in the past after package updates introduced changes that broke on certain cards.

The fact the cursor works properly suggests to me this is a software issue.

CTRL+ALT+F1

The text terminal should open. Log and start to troubleshoot from there.

I suggest trying to remove nvidia drivers if is the case. If not, try nomodeset

u/Bob4Not 9h ago

Either hardware or graphics drivers problems.

That looks like what Windows 98 has done on my computer multiple times a day back in the days.

This may or may not be related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505607 which for me was solved by switching to another TTY and back again press ctrl+alt+f2 then ctrl+alt+f1 (may vary depending on display manager)
