KDE kwin_wayland crash then sluggish on 24.0.3

[crushndent]

Manjaro has been stable for me the past year + with KDE and wayland.
I have 3 monitors (all the same) on older AMD graphics but it’s been stable.
i9 13thgen, 64GB
Recently went through the upgrades to 24.0.1, and .2 - seemed to be ok but maybe I didn’t have enough time with them. Since 24.0.3 I’ve been having window crashes.
journalctl reports a few errors when the problem happens (below). After the crash I still have a desktop and some windows don’t crash - like dolphin, but then restarting chrome

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
