GNOME desktop freezes and time doesn't update

Whenever I change the windows on my desktop using Alt + Tab, my desktop freezes a section of my screen, which takes up a good portion of it and the time is frozen, also I can’t click on the Manjaro icon on the bottom left to go to the settings, forcing me to use the GNOME shortcut.

This is the system info:

Warning: No installed USB configs!

Manjaro version: ManjaroLinux 22.0.0 Sikaris

is not supported anymore, change to a current one, maybe 5.15LTS.

Some other potential issues:

RAM: total: 5.61 GiB used: 2.79 GiB (49.8%)
and no swap. Consider setting up swap.

  PulseAudio v: 16.1 running: yes
  PipeWire v: 0.3.63 running: yes

Running 2 sound servers, one is enough.

System Temperatures: cpu: 84.0

That’s very hot. Maybe try to clean up the fan by placing a hoover nozzle on your fan slots.
