KDE Plasma on Wayland after 6.1.1 update keeps hanging.
For example, system notifications don't disappear, taskbar widgets stop updating, and the super key doesn't open the Start menu. The only way to fix all that is to move the cursor over the taskbar.

As far as I know this is just an Nvidia+Plasma issue in wayland that has been going on for a number of years
Was hoping that 6.1.1 and the new driver would have helped, but I've still had it happen a number of times (though less frequent than before)

If its that looks like faulty driver
Very well could be, hopefully gets resolved sooner than later
One of the comments claims that plasma 6.1.2 works fine which is encouraging
yeah seems like exactly the same weird behaviour I am experiencing right know... the sad part is that this wasn't a thing before the latest bazzite update
You can always pin the latest working and wait for a fix, should be soon fi it's fixed on 6.1.2
I was debating that but if 6.1.2 is just around the corner then I will wait
