I've run into some annoying graphical issues on my Linux machine after trying to complete a Discord quest with the game Delta Forces. Whenever I ran Delta Forces or some other apps like Dead Cells and switched back to Delta Forces, I would get logged out of my session. When I returned, the graphics were all messed up, and it got progressively worse. I eventually uninstalled Delta Forces since I finished the quest, but the glitches stuck around, and the app keeps crashing. Also, I'm having random logouts in GNOME when I'm using multiple apps or playing games. Any insights on what might be causing these issues or how to fix them would be greatly appreciated! Here are my system specs: ASUS TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI, 32GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, Intel Arc B580 Graphics, Arch Linux with GNOME 48 and Wayland.

Have you tried using the Flatpak version of Discord? It tends to handle updates better and might give you a more stable experience. It seems like this could be related to Wayland issues, which can be common, especially with newer hardware.
I've had trouble with Flatpak too! It works for a little while, then stops for no reason. I ended up reinstalling it repeatedly, but it just kept breaking on me.
That could definitely be a problem with the GPU drivers since you're on an Intel Arc card. Also, just to note, Wayland isn't in its early adoption phase anymore; that was a while ago, and GNOME is fully committed to it now.
