To turn off Desktop Effects (Desktop Compositing) in Manjaro KDE this can be done by making the following changes:

1. System Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor
2. Uncheck “Enable compositor on startup”
3. System Settings > Shortcuts > Shortcuts > KWin (Under System Settings)
4. Click on “Suspend Compositing:” and uncheck the box next to “Alt+Shift+F12”
5. Click Apply
6. Reboot

If you are using Flatpaks on Manjaro KDE (probably any distro you use flatpaks on) and switch from an NVIDIA to AMD GPU in the system you will need to search through the install flatpaks to find all any NVIDIA drivers that are bundled. On my system I found that Protontricks, Heroic Game Launcher, and Wine (WineHQ) will still have NVIDIA drivers installed and will need to be removed manually.

• From Konsole run: sudo flatpak list | grep nvidia
• Then you can run: sudo flatpak uninstall [PACKAGE] (do this each time for all the entries found with the list flag.

NOTE: Using Flatpak

inxi -Fza


-F, --full
Show Full output for inxi. Includes all Upper Case line letters except -W, plus -s and -n. Does not show extra verbose options such as -d -f -i -l -m -o -p -r -t -u -x unless you use those arguments in the command, e.g.: inxi -Frmxx

-a, --admin
Admin options are advanced output options, and are more technical, and mostly of interest to system administrators or other machine admins.

Grim Dawn (w/ all DL)C, I was seeing some screen tearing in the upper 1/8 of the screen and the background seemed to stutter even though FPS was solid. The following changes were needed on my setup to resolve this. Posting here and on ProtonDB – Game Details for Grim Dawn in hopes this helps someone else.

Changed desktop from 60Ghz to 120Hz (monitor can do 144Hz)
Edit the games options.txt file at “~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/219990/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/Settings/“:

UPnPEnable = false
forceSingleProcessorMode = false
maxResourceThreads = 8

NOTE: maxResourceThreads should be equal to the number of cores (not threads) the CPU has; default is 1.

Steam Properties >
Launch Options: Play Grim Dawn (x64)
Advanced: RADV_PERFTEST=aco gamemoderun %command%

Compatibility > Force to Using GE-Proton7-55

NOTE: Many have reported random black screen issues unless using “RADV_PERFTEST=aco”

In game I have everything cranked up to max and all options in video turned on (including VSYNC) and Refresh set to 120Hz also.
