Desktop Effects being disabled after 5.21, only in Manjaro

you activate the animation by Alt+shift+f12 , also you can go to Setting → Display and monitor → Compositor and check Enable compositor on Startup , also test with “Allow applications to block Compositor”

I just want to say that I stumbled across a solution on another forum post here, and it seemed to fix the issue that I was having when coming out of sleep.

Same issue here, as long as I remember with Intel iGPU and (currently) AMD GPU.
The solution I found and stopped it from happening, was to enable “Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects > Background contrast
Have no idea what it does, or why it works, but works for me and many others (found the solution in reddit I think)

The original forum post was called “Compositor keeps on crashing after waking from sleep post update” if you’re interested in checking it out since I couldn’t post the link.

you mean this, that I already posted here and nobody replied to?
