From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Indeed, I have to run Alt-space "plasmashell --replace" almost hourly.

Overall I'm happy with NVidia+Wayland except for this bug, but it has been quite bothersome.

Interestingly the bug have also been seen on AMD GPU, thus why the title is " Plasma panel visually (but not functionally) freezing on Wayland with Basic render loop and Non-Intel GPU when Task Manager previews are turned on".
