Hello,
I experience random black screens when using my computer (browsing the web, reading emails, discord).
Here is a list of events that have led to black screens
- Changing workspaces in gnome
- Playing a Twitch stream in full screen mode
The following error might be related (even if I have mesa driver installed):

I didn’t have this black screen problem until I updated my nixpkgs from commit 3030f185ba6a4bf4f18b87f345f104e6a6961f34
(Mar 9) to 5c24cf2f0a12ad855f444c30b2421d044120c66f
(Apr 19).
The problem also appears with Wayland+Gnome 45.5 and Wayland+Plasma 6
