Description

VS code, discord, and vesktop (and im willing to assume all other electron apps are a mess when NOT using xwayland)
Posting this issue because of this issue on the ml4w github, which seems to be a hyprland problem
mylinuxforwork/dotfiles#421 (comment)

How to reproduce

1. (Probably) be using a radeon rx 400 or 500 series gpu
2. Launch an electron app with the flags reccomended in the wiki ([BUG] Discord is a pixelated mess mylinuxforwork/dotfiles#421 (comment))
3. Enjoy!!

That's what some other people have said. What's your hardware?

I think I remember seeing either a mesa or kernel issue for those specific cards that sounds similar to this. Maybe try upgrading or downgrading each of those?
