KWin keeps crashing

I just received my pinebook pro today and its a wonderful device but still, I encountered some problems.
The most annoying of those being that KWin keeps crashing, randomly it seems, but almost always when I open or close a window, most of the time it seems to manage to restart itself but sometimes it does not and I am forced to reboot and it's getting really annoying
I was wondering if other people came across the same kind of bug

(by the way I kept the manjaro kde stock installation)

Usually compositor / window manager / display server crashes are caused by GPU drivers.

Have you made sure you have mesa-git installed?


If that doesn't help, you could try going into System Settings and changing whether the compositor is enabled.


As a last resort, you could try using another window manager such as Openbox, which may be more stable: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using...ith_Plasma
