We must work at the same org, we got that recently too

I get that as well. As far as I understand it, and someone is welcomed to correct or expand on any of this - this is because when you play a game (primarily when using gamemoderun), it disables your compositor. When you exit the game, it kicks the compositor back on. I have no idea why it has issues on coming back on, seems to be related to Nvidia in X11.

Some things that I've found that help is disabling the compositor (Alt+Shift+F12)
After doing that, I try to maximize and un-maximize any windows I still have up, then re-enable the compositor with the same shortcut.

Realistically, your plasmashell solution is great. Theoretically, Wayland shouldn't have this issue, but I know Wayland comes with its own issues with Nvidia.

Thank you! I love the flexibility of Plasma and being able to make a uniquely me environment

Thanks a ton! I loved changing everything and finding what things I could or could not do without and optimize everything to my use-case. Getting off of my work Windows PC and logging into my home Linux PC feels like such a breath of fresh air

It's actually just the normal KDE one, set as floating, then shrunk it to my desired size. My partner then added some embellishments to the wallpaper to make the clock and taskbar pop

• OS: Manjaro
• DE: KDE Plasma 5
• Global: Scratchy
• Plasma Style, Window Decorations, and Colors are customized and don't remember their sources, sorry
• Icons: Colorful-Dark-Icons
• Cursor: Breeze

I know there's a lot of defaults in here, but this has been my daily driver for 6 years now and been loving this setup

This is gorgeous!!!

This has me curious, not to derail the topic, but I always hear that ClamAV is the best way to go for Linux. Is there a free solution that you would recommend in place of it?

What a fantastic person ❤️

Not to be that "aktchually" guy, but Microsoft actually ends up paying OEM's to ship with Windows, in order to drive costs down to be more affordable than competitors. You can still reimage with Linux, which I know, is an extra step from it shipping with Linux, but in a wild turn of events, we can thank Microsoft for driving down the prices of our to-be-Linux machines ;)

That's fair, I can't say I've daily-driven it yet since I've still got my Kagi sub, but I'm thinking of defaulting it on my work computer to put it through its paces. It's done fairly well with some of my tests, but definitely seems to still be getting refined, I've noticed recent information can be difficult to find on it
