Hi everybody.
So, I installed Manjaro KDE Plasma yesterday and my laptop is performing low. Booting time is slow, but I guess its because I encrypted whole HDD. Anyways, I didn’t installed any app on laptop, except Brave browser. My laptop has Intel i7-3630QM quad core with 8 threads, 12 gigs of RAM and NVIDIA dedicated graph and a HDD. Opening terminal, booting after user login and other stuff is so slow in compare what I expecting. This isn’t some low spec laptop, except that it has HDD instead of SSD. What is main reason of low performance? If you need any additional info, please let me know. I am in love with Manjaro, by the way. Thanks in advance to all
This is screenshot of system info:

@ghost1 , and welcome!
In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:
Hope you manage!
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:
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
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.
You don’t say what exactly you mean by that.
This is likely the reason.
As I like to visualize it:
It’s not so much “bad performance” - but simply getting the data takes time
I still like hdd’s - I don’t care about the longer load times.
Well, it might be that, but at least you have one person that agrees with you: me
So, we’ll believe our fantasy together.
But, yes, that might be the bottleneck here…
This doesn’t provide much info. Please provide the information as per the link I provided.

By “low performance” I mean, like you said, long time of data retrieving, few seconds for even terminal to open. I guess that’s because I am using HDD instead of SSD. Commands that I run in terminal are executed fast. I don’t have any additional information to provide, so I guess that this question could be closed.
it definitely is

Exectly what is happening to me. After about 10mins of using laptop, it starts to get faster.
By this:
I’m thinking also this is correct:
Some Desktops run a file indexer - to help with having a quick search later on.
There were a lot reports of slow KDE in combination of non-installed Nvidia drivers. Do you have them installed?
KDE benefits a lot from SSD as it has tons of tiny tiny files that need to be loaded to RAM, and HDD makes it painfully slow. SSD can cut your 1 minute loading time down to something like 5-10 seconds, depending on pre-graphics services you enable. For casual users that don’t add much, 5 seconds is very likely. Once in a while, it may raise to 10 for reindexing and such, but is still far better than 1 minute.
All in all, you can point who to blame from:
$ systemd-analyze blame
It is the storage. Your best bet is an SSD with DRAM cache. SanDisk’s are of quality, and still affordable.

Yep, nothing worrying. All good.
No need to, only the first 10 entries or so matter, the rest are usually negligible. Although for HDD, many of triple digits ms services take double or single on mine.

Could you let me know what’s command for that so I can paste you output here?
I requested information that would contain that info twice before, but let’s check with this as well:
mhwd --list && mhwd --listinstaalled
that was generated by the command:systemd-analyze blame
That is just a time sorted list of what process took how long during startup of your system.
… and we still have no hardware information
inxi -Fazy
for example
