Im dritten Jahr in Folge hieß es im Rahmen einer Klima-Projektwoche am LES in Mosbach „Herzlich Willkommen zur Klimakonferenz“, ein Lernformat im Rahmen der Bildungsoffensive der KWiN, das junge #KWIN #LudwigErhardSchule #Mosbach #Slider

I'm currently facing some troubles with my laptop, in which #kwin is causing some trip-ups in the #amdgpu driver with panel self refresh apparently.

The internal screen freezes, but the machine still responds to input — I'm just not seeing it on the machine itself. Inspecting processes via SSH shows it's still launching applications when I invoke certain key combinations. Connecting an external display and disconnecting it again restores normal operation. Only issue is that still leave the machine inoperable once I can't do that, which completely disqualifies it for on-the-go usage. A laptop I can't use on the go is pretty much useless.

Searching online for clues how to work around the issue has been fruitless. There's apparently some #linux kernel command line parameters to turn PSR off, but the issue persisted.

I replaced the #Arch install on my laptop with #Fedora for now, as it stopped the issue from occurring. My best guess at the moment is a regression somewhere in the 6.18 line. Fedora 43 ships with 6.17.1 and updates to 6.18.8. Arch currently ships 6.18.7, and the system was working properly before doing regular system upgrades. A complete reinstall of Arch also did not fix the issue, solidifying my belief it could be a kernel regression. So until Arch updates to a more recent kernel, Fedora it is, as I'd much prefer my laptop to not be a paper weight.

Very interesting table showing which #Wayland compositor supports which Wayland protocols. I was surprised to see that #gnome's #mutter has implemented substantially fewer protocols than #KDE's #KWin, and also #Sway, #Cosmic, #Hyprland, #Niri, #Labwc, #Wayfire, #Tray, and #Treeland. I am particularly surprised, because the Wayland experience in Gnome is mostly flawless and smooth.

Recently switched from an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT to a Gigabyte Radeon 9070 XT Gaming OC.
I’m observing this visual 'bug' when simply moving wobbly windows around in #KDE #Plasma #Kwin: In about 1/5 of my movings, there is a significant lag. Monitoring GPU frequency via #LACT shows a sudden *drop* in frequency, rather than an increase like in the cases when the moving is rendered without lag.

Is this an #AMDGPU scheduler bug? A firmware issue? A Kwin bug?
