Qtile crashes when monitor is switched off and back on
Original: # Qtile started crashing after I turn my monitor off and back on, but idle still works fine. Fun times # Linux # OpenSou
A Linux user reports that the Qtile tiling window manager started crashing whenever the monitor is turned off and back on, even though the system works fine while idle. The user shared the problem with sarcasm, noting it interrupts their weekend. No fix or official response has been given yet, and others in the Linux and open source community may weigh in with similar experiences or workarounds.
Why now: A user publicly vented about a recent Qtile bug that crashes the window manager on monitor power events, inviting discussion among Linux users.
