Nvidia: Geoforce 550
Kernal: 5.10.15-5
I installed the openbox version of manjaro and I’m having weird graphics issues.
I noticed when watching youtube videos on brave and librewolf, that the videos are consistently skipping while the video plays, however when I play the videos in firefox they don’t skip, but still flicker abit when playing. I have the same issue on other video platforms such as lbry. And I did not have this issue on my previously installed version of manjaro, or on my other computers that run manjaro. I also noticed considerable lag when trying to play openRA, which should not lag.
Another issue I’m having that could be related to this is picom is not running etiher.

What I think could be the issue.
Driver/opengl problems:
When I was installing the openbox version of manjaro I was unable to boot the usb drive using the non-free drivers(I have an Nvidia video card) and had to use the open scource drivers and install from that. After I installed the operating system I then installed the non-free drivers from the manjaro config gui.
When I run mhwd -li it outputs:
Installed PCI configs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME VERSION FREEDRIVER TYPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

however when I run glxinfo | grep OpenGL:
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa/X.org
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.1, 128 bits)
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 20.3.4

OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 20.3.4

OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 20.3.4
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.20

Another issue could be with one of the dependency needing to be downgraded.
I’ve also tried upgrading and down grading the kernal:
Kernals I’ve tried
