Hi,
I installed Manjaro Gnome in May of this year and recently(past few weeks) it seems to be slower to open most programs.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot what is happening, and I fear I am making things worse.
I hope someone points me to the right direction on figuring out those problems. Worst case scenario I will have to install the SO again.
Thank you very much!
Details:
Most programs are taking less than 1 minute to open, but they used to be almost instantaneous.
And they act kind of weird, for example the terminal: it “opens” fast, but it takes a while to show the “fish” welcome message and to allow me to type.
The worst program seems to be Steam, it takes 5~10 minutes to open. I tried to follow the troubleshoot for AUR, and stuff I found here in the forum like:
-
steam-runtime --reset
-
deleting steam cache
-
disabling hardware acceleration.
-
removing everything than installing different packages
But nothing works and now I get a bunch of new messages when opening steam
- Pins potentially out-of-date.
- Forcing building of pins
And it also forgets my user.
When I try to run steam, top shows:
- 90% ~ 94% idle
- steam uses ~100MB of memory, 0% CPU and write ~15MB to disk.
- the only changes in usage are:
- if I alt+tab +10% usage of CPU.
- if I resize terminal xorg and gnome-shell go crazy
The computer has 32GB of RAM, CPU AMD Ryzen 2700
Storage is in either a nvme or sata ssd.
In 1TB nvme:
- SWAP 34GB
- /boot 524 MB ext4
- /boot/efi 524MB fat
- / 419GB ext4
- /home 569BG btrfs
I tried kernels 5.7.19 , 5.8.18 and 5.9.
