Bad response time of applications and os

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?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Welcome at the forum, @zesaro :tada:

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”).

Thanks for your help. I had some trouble finding this option on the login screen. But it is now running much more smoothly.

I noticed that the slowdown happened as soon as I started CLion.
Wayland runs much better. It has some graphical bugs, I’d say? But it does it’s job.

Thanks :slight_smile:
