SUMMARY During a gamescope session I've noticed that Alt+Tab-ing would cause a noticeable and long-lasting freeze. I did figure out it was due to gpu-screen-recorder-ui interfering, though, before I could disable it, I firstly got a notification from KDE saying "Desktop-effects restarting" (I can't remember the extact body of the notification), and, once pressed SUPER for opening the Menu Bar the system froze and lead to an glitchy output. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a game using gamescope and with the following parameters under proton Hotfix: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 gamescope -h 1440 -f --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -r 165 --backend wayland --force-grab-cursor --. 2. While in game open the gpu-screen-recorder-ui through ALT-Z. 3. Alt-Tab SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.3-2-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core Processor Memory: 32 GiB of RAM (30.4 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX Vega Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: ASRock Product Name: B650 Pro RS If this happens again I will take a picture and post it here.

This likely an amd driver bug. If you see it happen again run sudo dmesg to see if there is an issue reported by amdgpu. This types of issues are common for some amd users.
What happens is that the amd driver freeze, crashes and then restarts. If you run into it again and see an issue in dmesg then report it to amd in either the mesa or drm freedesktop gitlab repositories.
As the message at the top of the summary says, if something crashed, we need a backtrace of it so we can figure out what's going on. Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash using the coredumpctl command-line program, as detailed in https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Retrieving_a_backtrace_using_coredumpctl ? Thanks.
