I discovered a strange behavior today. While searching for the reason why my system shows every boot the file system check screen for 3-5 seconds I noticed that the new Nvidia 525 display driver, that I installed yesterday, write every second the following lines into the journal:

And this every second. I don't know how it was before because I noticed it just today while I'm remotely connected with my PC via AnyDesk. The Xorg Process also writes every second. I will quit this so safe SSD health.
I also found the following line in the latest log:

Edit #1: Now I'm home and the Nvidia journal spam is over. Hmm... Is it maybe an AnyDesk-Thing?
