My DE just closes if I alt+tab a game.

Post by Rayser »

Playing a game with a video open, and some browser tabs. If I click the alt+tab my DE crashes and appears the Login Window.

First I thought that was because If I was playing without a GPU card, only the Ryzen graphics from the processor. But even after a bought a proper GPU I cannot simple alt tab my games if I have a video or something more heavy on the background. 16gb RAM should be enough too.

I think it's a problem with Cinnamon or Xorg because when I tested the Gnome(Wayland) my DE never crashed even with a lot apps/videos open on the background. Games are very lightly, CS:GO for example.

Anyone have a similar problem? Should be the Cinnamon or the Xorg?

I had never had this issue while using Cinnamon with X.

Maybe you didn't set things up properly?
