just today, my system started having an issue where if an hdmi cable is plugged into the graphics card display port, the whole system will stutter every second. even if it's set to single-display mode. which is uh weird.
i have rolled back and rolled forward my nvidia drivers to no avail. geforce 1050ti. i am looking into upgrading my OS from ubuntu lts 22.04 but i don't have enough fucking space in boot even after cleanup (purging old kernels, compressing initramfs, etc.). before i boot from liveusb to repartition my /boot, does anyone have any ideas about this problem.
edit3: i have fully updated my operating system and there's still hitching. additionally, i ran from liveusb and there was no hitching. so... something's going on software side.
