The black desktop used to happen on every brand of GPU (I have a mix of Intel and AMD), it just had to be the third or the fourth display, something like that. Or after sleeping and waking. I used to have it a lot.

I haven’t seen it in a while, though, so it just might be they have fixed it. Fedora + zawertun COPR, for what it’s worth.

I recently fixed this issue with KDE not coming back from sleep by setting it so that the VRAM is all saved on my nvidia card: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nvidia

Trying to explain it I'm actually not sure I 100% understand the solution. It looks like it uses systemd for sleep AND saves all of the VRAM (I'm guessing into RAM if I'm using anything other than hibernate).
