Hello everyone, I just downloaded the manjaro and skimmed over the forum I saw that some people had faced wtih the same problem but I couldnt find any solution yet. Using manjaro, my ui becomes laggy, especially when I click show apps button or close a window etc. I checked the GPU utilization from the nvidia-settings and it says 0. My specs are 16 gb ram mx250 i710510 (or 520) u
Hi @karakobra1, and welcome!
You’re new and say you’ve looked on the Forum. Well, then I guess 
you missed this:
In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:
- [HowTo] Provide System Information,
- [HowTo] Post screenshots and links,
- [HowTo] Request support, and
- [HowTo] Post command output and file content as formatted text.
Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro
Hope you manage!
Tip:
To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
Additionally
If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
Please edit your post accordingly.
This implies a nvidia gpu - but we need to know a little more - please provide the url returned from
inxi -Fxy | curl -F'file=@-' https://0x0.st

this is the result
You have a hybrid system. 2 GPUs.
I am guessing you have PRIME.
(but you could show us with mhwd -li -l)
In that case if its working correctly it should use the iGPU by default. And PRIME will call the dGPU.

prime-run glxinfo | grep 'renderer string'

OpenGL renderer string: Mesa Intel(R) UHD Graphics (CML GT2)
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce MX250/PCIe/SSE2
That looks to be working.
Just know your dGPU (nvidia) is not supposed to be running until you call it with prime-run.
I dont know about the general ‘laggy ui’.
Its gnome … so I am not super familiar, but I would suggest checking its 'extension’s.
thanks man, what do you mean by extensions. Ive used gnome with ubuntu on the same computer before and there was no such issue
Gnome has ‘extensions’ that are add-ons to the desktop.
Like here: https://extensions.gnome.org/
They can cause problems … because gnome changes the underlying code all the time, so if your extension hasnt been made for the version of gnome you are running (and even then sometimes…) there can be issues.
Like firefox extensions - theres a handful that are unlikely to cause problems so long as they are up to date … otherwise its a common source of issues.
