What a Nightmare.

Running the nvidia GT 710 gpu card with the 470 driver does have some advantages over nouveau.

I know I have an Nvidia GPU myself on my desktop and server. It's still possible to install the driver manually on Linux Mint, which is what I do in my Jellyfish/Plex server.

The problem was solved and I'm running this Kernel in Mint Cinnamon 22.1...

As I said Mint Cinnamon 22.3 is running Kernel 6.8.0.124 with the same Graphic Card in the same Tower and does not have this problem...why this happened I have no idea but the most important thing is to know how to fix it..rather than buying a new card.

As for the nouveau open source driver...it sucks and is always better to have a Graphic Card and I'm not a gamer either.
