About 7 to 8 months ago I decided to try out wayland, and it worked fine for one day and the machine went into sleep and then when I woke it up, it did this and now it does it ever time I start a wayland session. I’ve tried clearing the configs, looking at systemd logs, can’t figure out what causes this and what the problem is.
one monitor displays fine and the other is a lsd induced artwork. The screenshot on the desktop renders correctly but not at the display level.
I figure and I would wait a few months and let wayland, kde and amd develop a bit more, and hope something would get fixed. Today I tried again and same result.

I don’t know how to fix this or where to look specifically for logs pertaining to this problem.
X11 or xorg works fine, just a bit sluggish at times.
Does any one else have this issue or is it a known issue?
Will it ever get fixed?
Edit: Also I forgot to mention, If I logout of wayland session and use sddm to switch X11 Session the problem follows and the only way to not break X11 is to restart the machine and login X11 and not login into wayland.
EDIT 2:
Apparently the manjaro team is not happy with what I posted and unlisted the topic.
I’m hopping distros. SEE YA!
