I forgot to mention that after switching to another virtual desktop, I can see the background for a split second. I can also see it when moving to another virtual desktop (i.e., moving slowly using the three-finger swap gesture).

Can you try on a testing image?

ublue-os/bluefin#4193

I'm testing it right now - we'll see how it goes. So far, the issue was so random that I was pretty sure that it was firmware-related (I've updated the firmware in the meantime) until I rebooted the system after 13 days of uptime, where this and #1072 popped up again.
For the plus side, this image at least boots, unlike the one from 2026-02-12T17:49:36Z.

It happened today while running the current LTS testing image.
