When I open my laptop, Ubuntu wakes up, shows the desktop and then immediately blacks the screen until I move the mouse.

I got so used to that jankiness that I didn’t notice it until I was showing someone my laptop who was interested in buying the same model.

Wayland will specifically fix this. Fixing it in X has proven to be hard if not impossible.

(there are other security fixes by adopting Wayland)

what version of ubuntu are you running?

I've seen this behavior with the old 'gnome-screensaver' (which I think ubuntu hasn't used for quite a while), but with the current gnome-shell lock screen it behaves properly and doesn't black out the screen when I open my laptop.
