As stated this seems to be affecting only gentoo and only gnome, including gdm as other display managers work but gnome itself is unstable and prone to issues where the gpu on the host machine is randomly disconnected from the gentoo vm sandbox and this leads to major graphic instabilities within the vm. This however is not a vmware issue as other distros work just fine and have no such issues when in regards to gnome (arch too). I have looked in the logs for vmware and the mention of a d3d12 device removal comes up alot and causes these issues. ITS only a gentoo problem and I have already tried everything in terms of kernel and vmware config for the kernel. As well plasma works perfectly and when I install gnome light on top of kde it works like a charm with no issues in terms of graphics. I am simply perplexed by this and cant seems to fix it. ITS ONLY A NVIDIA gpu problem as far as I know as the only gpu available in my host is a nvidia yet on another device, the igpu worked just fine with the same setup BUT its nvidia gpu had the same issues. I am on windows 11 host and using vmware workstation 17.5 with a 3060 Any help would be appreciated as this issues has been pretty persistent and is only with gentoo gnome Thanks
anyone found out anything about this bug?
could this be due to the gnome backend being xdg?

This is a bug as it has to do deal with gdm/gnome software graphics stack as thats the only reason this isnt working on my devices. This isnt a ask for help, this is a bug of some sort as other distros like arch work perfect and have no issues, and its not a kernel or vmware issue either due to that, it must be something relating to how we build parts of the gnome backend, etc.
So it is an issues as its something to deal with the ebuilds of some part of gnome-light and its deps and im trying to figure out which one that is right now

Like Mike said, *if* you can articulate a specific bug, please reopen or create a new bug report. There is still nothing actionable in this one so far; please leave this one closed unless you can provide what was asked for. Again, maybe hop on IRC or the forums, see https://www.gentoo.org/support/
