    The refresh rate problem is uncommon… do you use the “Edge” version of Mint or the normal one?

    Unfortunately drivers for fingerprint readers (or the lack thereof) are often an issue.

      There doesn’t seem to be any Edge version for 22.x, so I guess I’m using the normal one.

      The thing with my refresh rate is that the highest one available to me is just 60 Hz. I’m using a Huawei Matebook X Pro (2018) and if I’m not mistaken, its display should have 90 Hz at a resolution of 3.000x2.000 (yep, it’s display is somewhat uncommon and has a 3:2 format). I’ve noticed because since the switch, the screen looked very choppy to me.

        You could try installing the newest kernel. Mint apparently comes with a great built-in tool to do so. It might contain newer drivers that fix your issues. I also see there’s a variant with Nvidia GPU… in that case it also might be Nvidias fault. Which would be not surprising at all. (Mint got a driver utility you could meddle with).

          I switched to the newest Kernel version and sadly the problem still persists. :(

          Yep, I have the variant with a Nvidia GPU and I also think that it’s highly likely that they fucked up. I’ve already noticed that I don’t see a lot of settings in the Nvidia server settings app where other people seem to have way more options than me.

            Perhaps the nvidia driver doesn’t load correctly. Could you open a terminal, enter lspci -nnk and look for your GPU in the list to check if the kernel driver in use says “nvidia” and/or “nvidia_drm”?
