SUMMARY

I decided to give Wayland a try today, but it is still too glitchy.

The easiest way I can reproduce this myself, is by being away from the PC for about 30 seconds, not using the mouse or keyboard. When I move it again, the current window flickers showing what is in the background.

Example: https://youtu.be/gRuS6vY9OY0 (recorded in 0.25 speed)

But even if I don't step away and keep just using it normally, it just randomly flicker here and there.

I'm on Manjaro and installed it using the command:

sudo pacman -S wayland plasma-wayland-session

It's a Nvidia GPU and drivers.

Just let me know any more information I could provide.
