-- Information about the crash:
I am getting frequent crashes of plasma shell using wayland. 

This typically happens when interacting with the taskbar and tray icons, the whole screen except my windows goes black and then comes back again, with the 'plasma shell has crashed' window appearing.

I don't think this has been happening that long, maybe a week or so. I am using archlinx and pretty frequently update my packages.
I do not have any sort of customisations applied that I have done myself.

The reporter is unsure if this crash is reproducible.

The backtrace suggests you changed Plasma to use Vulkan instead of OpenGL. Don't do that, it's experimental and unsupported

You are correct, thanks for spotting that!
I do remember changing it to that not long ago actually, after I had some other crash which forced plasma to use software rendering.

I've put it back to OpenGL and haven't had any issues since.

Feel free to close - thanks :)
