There's a bug open about other graphics-related issues that numerous people have been having with the 5.15.2 kernel. (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72752) I'm not sure if that issue is related to yours, as you're using nvidia and that bug seems to be affecting intel Iris graphics users. But I don't think anyone's pinned down the source of that bug yet, so it could be a kernel-wide issue rather than affecting only intel. DR
