Possible Workaround for intel UHD 6xx graphics: Switch to Wayland from
X11
When I compared package listings between my screen tearing / glitching
kubuntu 24.04 upgrade to my smooth display kubuntu 24.04 fresh scratch
install I noticed that the latter had additional wayland packages.
This gave me the idea to try wayland. It turns out that this appears to
have fixed the issue for me.
Steps to use wayland:
1. Install plasma-workspace-wayland
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install plasma-workspace-wayland
2. Logout
3. On user login screen switch session type to wayland (it should be
located in the left bottom corner)
4. Login your user
5. To verify wayland session use one approach:
- Open 'About this System' in 'System Settings' and check 'Graphics
Platform' value.
- Execute `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE` in the command line.
