I spent the weekend trying to get wayland to run properly on my rig with only partial success. Initially I had extremely slow performance where it would take upwards of 10 seconds for a click to activate. After purging the existing 545 driver and booting to nouveau I tried to reinstall the 545 driver but it now had dependency issues, so I reverted to the 535 driver. This solved the stuttering problem, but… now my CPU is running at upwards of 35% CPU load at idle.
I simplified my hardware by removing one graphics card so there is now only a single GPU on my system, and detached all but two monitors with one remaining in landscape and one rotated to portrait. Pretty standard stuff.
After looking through the bug tracker for a while, I came across an obscure entry that suggested I turn off “paste with middle click” in Ksettings even though it was for Plasma 5.26. This actually worked. The problem is, I use that function a lot in the term, so turning it off is a pain.
It seems to be Kwin once again. It seems almost all of my recent problems are Kwin. One of the fixes suggest that rolling Kwin back to 5.25.9 solved the problem, but obviously that is not an option here.
Another potential culprit is clipper.
However, all of these issues are claimed to be fixed, so I am wondering why they are showing up on a fully updated P6.1.3? Is there perhaps some legacy stuff left over from the P5 days? This system was installed shortly after the 22.04 rebase and has gone through updates from 5.26 to 6.1.3.
