Hello everyone. I am new to Manjaro and Arch. I came from Ubuntu and wanted to try something new. A few days ago I installed Manjaro using KDE Plasma. The installation process went fine.
When I boot the system, I get some short hardware error messages. And after a second they are gone. It’s too quick to take a screenshot or anything. I installed Manjaro using the proprietary software. In another installation I used open source option, I get a big list of green “OK”. But the issue is not fixed.
I have already reinstalled the drivers as described in Configure Graphics Cards. But it is still very slow and unresponsive. For example, opening a new tab can take a few seconds. Or resizing a window. Or opening a context menu, etc.
htop does not show me any load or spikes. Neither does intel_gpu_top. So I wonder what the problem might be. I was using the machine for work a while ago. It’s a Fujitsu CELSIUS J580. It has an Intel Xeon E-2275G and 64GB of RAM. And a 2TB hard drive. I am not quite sure if it is an SSD or HDD. In some cases I have read that this could be a problem?! It worked fine with Windows 11.
I’ve made room to install Manjaro on a 500GB partition, while keeping my old Windows partition.
Any idea what I can try? Or can you tell me what is a common problem or what information you need?
Use the video mode of a camera / mobile phone to catch it.
To better understand your system configuration, please post output of

You have a dual boot case, please explain on what partitions Windoze is installed and what ESP is used for what operating system (in case you have more than one).
I have no clue what to answer here. Looking in GParted I see my ext4 partition on which Manjaro is installed and the paritions of Windoze (like fat32 for /boot/efi, bitlocker for windows)
Mod note: Added code tags (</> can be used for this).
Looks like you have a serious hardware issue if I look into the error messages…
Beside this, at the time you enter your password for the session (at SDDM) you could try to open a “wayland” session (currently you are running “X11”).
