[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1684240] Re: Lagging square around mouse pointer
According to this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382812 the issue is not plasma-workspace, nor sddm, nor nvidia, but xorg and according to it the bug has been fixed in xorg.

Crippling your system (switching to xrender and much slower nouveau driver) is not a solution. What works for me flawlessly for more than a week on KDE Neon: In file: /lib/systemd/system/sddm.service Add: ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10 After [Service] The problem apparently is that something SDDM needs is not initialized before is starts, so delaying SDDM by 10 sec is adequate workaround.
