Sometimes, my KDE starts without the “taskbar”
When I boot my Arch Linux machine, about 1/10 times the “taskbar” is missing. (Do you still call it a taskbar?)
All I see it desktop icons, the background and the mouse cursor. I’m using NVIDIA proprietary drivers.
Do you guys have any idea what’s with that? It’s hard to troubleshoot because it only happens sometimes.

@MsDropbear @linux That’s really helpful advice. I’ll try making a second user account and see if it happens again. As I said, it only happens every 10th boot or so, so I’ll have to give it a week. Might be nice to start with a clean home directory. I tested different desktop environments before I settled with plasma. I deleted the old config files, but it’s certainly possible I forgot something.

@MsDropbear @linux I am running X11. Wayland is incompatible with the NVIDIA drivers. Last time I ran Wayland I only saw half the screen.

@MsDropbear @linux I’ll give it a shot. Maybe the information “Wayland doesn’t work with NVIDIA” is outdated.
I got my GPU very cheap from a colleague, otherwise I would never buy NVIDIA again. It works, but ugh it’s such a hassle with #linux.

It’s pretty luck based from my experience. Personally, I’ve had a lot of issues with NVIDIA + Wayland combo.
