The Bitwig Studio window is not displayed correctly after updating to version 5.2 on Linux

There might be an incompatibility with your graphics card and certain graphics backends. Take the following steps to switch the backend.

  • Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T or open it from the Applications menu
  • Paste the following command into the Terminal:

echo skia-gl > $HOME/.BitwigStudio/graphics-backend

  • Hit Enter

  • Start Bitwig to check if the problem persists.

If the problems persist, replace "skia-gl" with the other backend to switch to and repeat the above steps.

For Linux this can be:

  • skia-vulkan
  • skia-gl
