Plasma shell/Kwin having persistent graphics issues after playing Star Citizen on Wayland+Nvidia
So something really wacky is happening to my system after Star Citizen froze on me. Im running Bazzite KDE with Nvidia on Wayland, using the latest update available. It's like certain parts of the system can't see the graphics driver and kwin is having a fit, even after rebooting multiple times:
- Taskbar icons disappear when I mouse over them
- KWin crashes when I try to tile windows, icons in kde system settings are offsetting in weird places
- The system monitor is falling back to software rendering but the rest of the system seems like it's using the GPU fine in most places
- Windows seems to work fine, although it was slow on the load and the bios loading screen was a little glitchy. Destiny 2 ran okay.
Is my GPU dying or is this a kwin thing? Or is it some weird setting that I accidentally flipped in the driver?
I have tried:
- rebooting multiple times, even draining the capacitor
- updating, I'm on the latest update.
- rolling back, it even happens on the previous version where I wasn't playing SC.
Games run fine on Steam Proton, surprisingly. I have not tried SC again out of fear of making things worse. It's seemingly either Kwin or the Plasma shell not working right.
