what blur method you're trying to use?

kawase/dual_kawase blur requires --experimental-backends, so if that's what you're trying to use, that would explain it.

@satyrnhub, whatever blur except kernel one (iirc) requires experimental backends

@Alumniminium it's mentioned in the man page already. I added a warning message.

nixos/picom: add experimentalBackends option
b6139e5 
This option is only available as a command-line flag and not from the
config file, that is `services.picom.settings`. Therefore it is more
important that it gets its own option.

One reason one might need this set is that blur methods other than
kernel do not work with the old backends, see yshui/picom#464.

For reference, the home-manager picom module exposes this option too.
