This question already has an answer here:

I have a system76 laptop (Oryxp3) which works flawlessly with Kubuntu, hibernation and suspension too, drivers and everything too (battery sucks, but it's mostly a software problem which will take a lot of time to address), but for whatever reason only the DESKTOP makes some weird glitches when resuming from suspension/hibernation.

I can fix it by changing Layout from "Folder view" to "Desktop", applying and then reverting back to "Folder view", so it seems like a refresh problem.

Although I would love to have either a proper fix to refresh my desktop after suspend, or a command to do that. A hack or a workaround that I can bind to a command, I'm just too lazy to unlock widgets, right click, change option, apply, revert, apply every restore from suspension.

My GPU is NVIDIA GTX 1070 with NVIDIA drivers: 375.39

Here is how it looks, although sometimes is worse and the font gets all colored in weird ways and it's unreadable:

If it's a duplicate for that, it's really terrible from NVIDIA part O.o – Fire-Dragon-DoL Mar 29 '17 at 17:53
    
@Fire-Dragon-DoL - It is. Nvidia dun goofed pretty badly :) – Android Dev Mar 30 '17 at 0:26
    
Oh ok, that's horrible. My next step will be attempting to block the nvidia gpu and only use the Intel gpu, but from my understanding, the brightness buttons are bound to the nvidia driver... – Fire-Dragon-DoL Mar 30 '17 at 18:12
    
I don't think this is a duplicate question at all, none of the solutions in the Ubuntu+Unity specific question solve this issue for me, including installing the 370 drivers. Even if it is the same underlying bug in the nvidia drivers (which I doubt as installing 370 worked for the Unity issue) then it has different solutions and workarounds with KDE than those on Unity. – Ozone Apr 2 '17 at 9:01

Nvidia cards exhibit this weird display corruption when resuming from sleep. Simplest work around is toggle the compositor: alt+shft+f12

I'll test it today, thanks, I'll let you know – Fire-Dragon-DoL Mar 29 '17 at 17:52
    
This doesn't work on my system, only thing that gets rid of it is:killall plasmashell; kstart plasmashell – Ozone Apr 2 '17 at 9:05
