Hey MANjaros,
I’ve came back to my old home -Manjaro- after 2 years almost. It looks very stable actually than when I’d left to try others. My old days boi is better today; congrats to the team and the community. And why my old account removed on forum btw? Anyways let’s look at the issue.
Just annoying issue is there what I could not solve it yet what maybe hardware related though, dunno. The issue is pixelation on
When blur and translucent enabled that dotted pixelation appears.
As you can see on the second image there is no pixel problem on my screen but just blurred/translucent parts. Nothing to do used theme coz already tried other translucent themes ans same result occured.

I’d installed Manjaro KDE with .iso and used Open Source drivers first. After figure out that annoying pixelated parts tried proprietary drivers but nothing changed.
How can I solve those ugly dotted pixels?
