Hey guys,
I’ve been using Manjaro KDE for quite a while now and the desktop feels really choppy. Animations are laggy sometimes and when opening an app, the desktop starts to freeze for about 1-2 seconds. Also sometimes when trying to login after stand-by, the SDDM is just black (the mouse-cursor still shows).
Tried the steps from above of that thread, it’s a lot smoother now but still has some very slight stutters when dragging windows to the corner or opening some Qt-Applications. On my other PC with Intel-HD-Graphics everything runs perfectly. Setting “Tearing prevention (vsync)” to “Never” gives me a lot of screen tearing.

Installed PCI configs:

cat /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf:
`# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
The false is under the FREEDRIVER, but due to lack of formatting is hard to spot that

Now you see what i mean.
@Rioluu - let me correct a few things on your config and see if that helps, plus i will ad a few other things to try. I’ll get back with something.
Edit:
Here is a corrected /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf to try:
Since you added the Option "TripleBuffer" "On" in the Section "Device" then you also have to make the use of the kwin.sh file. Run from terminal: echo "export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/kwin.sh
Reboot and if that doesn’t help, then modify /etc/profile.d/kwin.sh to be like this:
The use of metamodes can’t be in both sections of device and screen as you had it. Anyway, if you have a working system now, with that conf file, make a backup of it before using mine, so you can restore it and use the system.
