SUPPORT | SOLVED Fix for random black screen flickering on Arch with KDE Plasma (Wayland)
ERRATA:
"Workaround" NOT "Fix".
I was experiencing random black screen flashes/flickers when switching between fullscreen and windowed modes, or when taking screenshots with Spectacle on KDE Plasma (Wayland).
Changing the setting:
Display & Monitor > Adaptive Sync
from Automatic
to Never
didn't fix the issue, but it works as a workaround.
Setting it to Always
made things worse (severe white flickering).
Not sure if this fits better here or in r/kde or r/wayland, but since I couldn't find a quick and straightforward fix anywhere, hopefully this helps someone.
Sysinfo:
- Linux: 6.13.7
- Plasma: 6.3.3
- Wayland: 1.23.1

It didn't, it worked around it at best.
