### Manual system information (if cachyos-bugreport.sh is unavailable)

```text
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Host: LENOVO Yoga
Kernel: 6.19.9-1-cachyos
Resolution: 3072x1920
DE: Plasma 6.6.3 (Wayland)

### Bug description

If I connect to a fast wifi (> 1GB) and open the wifi settings or just click the networks tab in the system tray, when connected to that wifi, the whole screen starts flickering and goes nuts. I strongly think there is a connection between the wifi and the screen problem. Does this make any sense?

### Steps to reproduce

1. connect to >1GB wifi
2. do anything which uses the wifi interface
3. see the screen go crazy

### Expected behavior

Keep the screen normal

### Actual behavior

Screen goes crazy

### Logs / stack traces

### Additional system information
