What is your Mesa version (and amdgpu/kernel)? One of the downsides is that KWin is stuck with OpenGL / EGL. They should switch to Vulkan eventually.

Quoting: ShmerlDid anyone experience the same thing?

Yep! Just last week tried it. Same thing happens if you turn the monitor off.

Just got a black screen when I turned the monitor back on. I presumed a hang, as by the time it occurred to me to type out terminal commands to force a reboot, I'd already hit enough buttons on the keyboard I couldn't be sure what state the terminal was in to log in and issue commands blind.

Went back to X11. I'm pretty sure I've the same Plasma version over here in openSuse land. Honestly thought it was an OpenSuse/Nvidia thing as the implementation is a little rougher than in Debian.

We should probably file a bug for it, if there isn't one already. I just want to see what's in dmesg when that happens.

That's a good idea! I'll see if I can try tonight and grab some log output.

Don't have that issue though I'm on plasma 5.22.5 TBF wayland has been alot better thatn I thought it would be.

Only issue I have with wayland is the copy past bug thing !

It's what makes me default to X11 when not gaming .

They fixed it in later versions.

That's good to know !

I occasionally try Wayland with KDE. But mostly the experience is not good.
No real effects, graphical artifacts, flickering, sometimes crashes and black screens.

I think that the KDE team still has of lot of work to do, until everything is as stable and beautiful as it is on X.

Been using Plasma on Wayland since 5.18, it is improving... and Vulp using it as daily driver since 5.22.

For note, Vulp use a system with AMDGPU.

So I got a day off and tried it again today.... I didn't get it to crash when I turned off the monitor.... It ran fine, even played Factorio on it for a little bit.

My system did do a kernel and Nvidia driver update this week... one been holding back on those, so maybe it was that? I don't recall seeing anything Wayland or plasma related, but there several hundred updates.
