SUMMARY
NVIDIA performance in Plasma Wayland is very hitchy, even in Plasma 6.3.2

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma
2. Move stuff around

OBSERVED RESULT
Desktop movement is very jittery & stuttery.
Areas where blur is expected is just transparent.

EXPECTED RESULT
Movement should be smooth

Hi - just to make sure I'm reading the info correctly, is the session with poor performance on a QEMU virtual machine, hosted on a device with a desktop NVIDIA card?

Yes, but the NVIDIA card is being used by the VM via GPU passthrough

The host system uses AMD

Got it - the linked distro forum thread mentions that you can't replicate the issue in Neon, Kubuntu or Arch. Is there an indication that this is an upstream KDE or steps that can reproduce the issue on a different distribution? Thanks!
