There are Garuda linux glitches. x11 is not that obvious either. It rarely happens. But when I switch to Wayland, there are too many glitches

I wrote the previous post and forgot to look at it. I’m rewriting it with garuda-inxi.

Hello, please provide info about what glitches you’re facing.

We can not read your mind and we are not wizards, witches or psychics either.

From that image it looks like you need to install flatpak, not a glitch

Important note: “Try to avoid using Snapd and Flatpak where possible. They are considered unsupported.” from the download page notes.

at the bottom of the monitor

Pls more info…

Example: Which monitor is this ? Do you change cables, ports ?

Is this only inside the DE Plasma, on boot, sddm screen ?

For me it looks like a faulty gpu / wrong monitor settings / faulty monitor.

Please provide garuda-inxi otherwise we cannot help

This might be fixed in plasma 6.4.4, give it a test

Had the same issue at 120Mhz , lowering refresh rate to 99 fixed it.
As TNE mentioned with plasma 6.4.4. this issue seems to be fixed since i can bump it up to 120Mhz again with out having issues. Thanks for pointing it out TNE.
However if I set the refresh rate to 140 Mhz i still have the issue, but last i checked it is present in windows as well so I’m guessing my monitor is slowly dying..

Glad things are working for you again.

Respect the clippy :3
