Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for two years now and recently upgraded my notebook to a Dell Precision 5560. But unfortunately, the whole system feels laggy and unresponsive. CPU load is at 5% most of the time and RAM never crosses 30%. I also use proprietary drivers.
The issue is most noticable when moving around windows. It feels like the mouse is always half a second behind my actual input.
Could this be a mouse acceleration issue, or just general system lag?
xinput-props for the mouse:

The mouse is a wireless dell mouse connected via USB-C hub.
Can you try another kernel. E.g.: kernel 5.15.

I’m just using thee newest stable Kernel. Real time is not really a requirement. Will let you know as soon as I can test another kernel.

Switching Kernels caused no noticeable improvement. It still feels like all of cinnamon (most noticably the mouse pointer) gets slower the moment I open any window.
Not sure if it helps with any system lag but you can alter mouse sensivity and speed in system settings on cinnamon

I think, I kind of solved it.
I basically did two things:
First, I changed the mouse acceleration profile to “flat” using this post in the Mint forums . This helped a lot with the mouse pointer not moving in sync with my physical mouse
Second, I gave the Cinnamon process the priority “very high” in the system monitor. This probably helped the most.
I still get the lags when I do extremely demanding tasks like rendering stuff on the CPU or during benchmarks, but other than that it works fine. I have no idea, why the cinnamon process got started with “normal” scheduling priority, but now it all works as intended.
