I tried to get Wayland working with KDE and the Nvidia driver on Debian 12. Not seen this kind of thing in many years.

@barnoid This is why I stopped buying Nvidia(Novideo) cards after switching to linux.

@barnoid yeah it just Does this sometimes on a portion of one of my monitors, no idea why (i'm using intel integrated graphics!!)

@barnoid This could be either NVIDIA's or KDE's fault.

Compositing display managers repaint the entire desktop. To avoid tearing, they double-buffer the entire display. What you're seeing is the window being repainted, but the background "wallpaper" isn't being repainted at all, leaving the trail behind.

This could be because NVIDIA is still coming up to speed on Wayland support, or because KDE didn't link in the wallpaper layer correctly.

@barnoid
Congratulations on completing Solitaire.

@barnoid I think you have just won a freecell game.

@barnoid wow, I wish my computer did that. Beautiful.

@barnoid

I love how the motion animation just continues. It's like an infinite chain :dragnaww:

@barnoid Looks kinda sick. Leave it out as a """theme""" :blobcatgiggle:

This really brings back then #windowsxp days when I would paint the screen with a multiplying window. This is a feature and not a bug.

@barnoid for me, KDE + Nvidia + Wayland leads to 100% cpu usage across all cores , and a minute between mouse click and response on-screen.

@barnoid quick put a beat to it and you are immediately part of the demo scene!

@barnoid I've never seen this happen at such a high fps though, tech really has advanced

@barnoid that is strangely beautiful. Useless, but beautiful.

@vxo @barnoid Linux finally catching up to the 90s Windows experience
