It doesn't matter much what Linux you use. Rather what is your desktop environment? (KDE Plasma, Gnome, sway etc.)

On KDE for example there is a shortcut to restart the compositor, which might fix your issue.


But in general you might have luck "restarting" it by switching the tty. You do that by pressing CTRL + ALT + some function key between F1 and F8 (the standard gui tty number depends on the distro). Try to switch to a non gui tty and then back.

For example, on my distro I would do:

  1. CTRL + ALT + F1
  2. CTRL + ALT + F2

but on yours it might be F7 or some other.
