From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah! I've seen a few times some artifacts with my RX 7600 on KDE too, but not on max/min, but randomly. I couldn't reproduce it, so it is really hard to talk about such subject. As it just recently started (I'm on 7.1.6), I guess this is the same issue. Wondered if this is an issue with KDE or Krohnkite extension or my GPU dying.

So glad it's "just" a bug in the Kernel. This is just a visual issue right? It doesn't hurt I hope.

Yeah I saw people also report on KDE forum that they're also seeing the artifacts as well, if you don't see it while gaming you should be fine
