Didn't realize this was happening and yay -Syu went brrr and it broke my shit. Probably doesn't help that I'm running nvidia with linux (endeavouros). Wayland doesn't work at all (black screen on login with only mouse ptr, wrong resolution), while Xorg is now much less smooth e.g. on the switching desktop animations. Moving windows around and in-window graphics are fine. Some graphical config stuff changed too; I'm still taking inventory.

I'm also currently playing with nvidia vs nvidia-dkms with different kernels to see if that solves anything.

EDIT: Looks like that my configuration was failing to set nvidia_drm modeset=1 correctly due to my unfamiliarity with dracut. Manually adding nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to my kernel cmdline makes Wayland work (and quite well at that), though Xorg is still laggy.

On rolling release distros you should always read (or at least skim) over what's being updated and if it may impact you.

Oh absolutely, I don't blame KDE or arch repos lol. I did see that it was a KDE update but somehow didn't clock the version number. I had it in my head that KDE6 was much farther off.

Sorry to hear that. Also on EOS and it is working great.

Same here on Lenovo Ideapad(I think) and EOS. No problems at all.
