So, my Lxqt-Kwin is acting weird. I didn't even update the last week and for the last couple of days I didn't even used the system, so I suppose it's not my fault. This is not the first time it happens as well, it occurred before, but I got to solve it by rolling back to a snapshot. This time, all snapshots appear with the same issue as the main system, which is:
My DE seems kinda broken. Some functionalities (mostly animations) are totally off and where the Cairo-dock appears it leaves a black strip 1.5x it's size. I still can change on which virtual desktop I am, and I still can go for some shortcuts like alt+tab to cycle trhough windows.
But other stuff like calling the menu with the super key or opening the virtual desktop grid I can't do. Didn't test all stuff, but I suppose this is enough info.
The system itself is working perfectly tho, I'm logged in right now and I could do a successful UPDATE. Sadly, the update didn't resolve my problem.
I was thinking, I saw a button on Garuda Assistant that says "reinstall all packages", but I thought it would be a little bit overkill. I also don't know which packages set up the DE so I can't do a reinstall only on it.
I also wanted to try to simply restart the DE, but I couldn't find any shortcut or command for lxqt-kwin, and logging in and out also have no effect.
Thanks for your attention and for all and any help in advance!
