The feature-packed and polished Plasma 6.8 KDE desktop is now available. Making this release all the more special is that it coincides with the 30th anniversary of the KDE project.

KDE Plasma 6.8 ships many exciting improvements including vRAM usage optimizations, dwell clicker support on Wayland, Wayland commit-timing protocol support for KWin, improvements for the Union theme engine, better remote desktop support, multi-GPU handling improvements, the new kscreenctl tool, server-side drop shadow support, multi-monitor improvements, and a lot of other polishing throughout. Especially from the Wayland angle there has been a lot of polishing and fine tuning for Plasma 6.8.

Congrats to the kde team!

I came across a post/report that (although relatively old 2025ish/early2026?, wasn't solved) which detailed the issue same as mine.
AMD dGPU, though that part doesn't seem to matter according to above-mentioned post, and 2 or more displays connected with different resolutions/refresh rates and utilizing different version of DisplayPort. The latter was assumed to be the culprit but I don't exactly have a choice to swap one of the displays to test.
I haven't had an issue with it until about August/Sept, but as I am on CachyOS, any number of updates could have broken it during that period.
