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.
