Hello,
I’ve been into Manjaro for years and recently I decided to install the latest release from scratch.
I mostly dual boot Manjaro gnome and Win 7 on this laptop(MBR/BIOS).
So far I had no problems with Manjaro before and I been using optimus manager and always set it for Nvidia the whole time and had no problems at all, everything smooth.
Now, I installed the latest Manjaro release, the gnome one and from the very first seconds it was laggy and unresponsive(like 2 sec) and loads of stutter, like opening nautilus, closing a tab in google chrome, pressing Super…any action lead to this kind of stutter.
I had doubts about the iso file i downloaded, so I downloaded an other one and checked the hash, all is good and did an other fresh install and this time I configured my graphic settings : optimus manager, and nothing, using intel or nvidia leads to the same thing.
I did my long research here and nothing helped me, I’m really curious as to what causing this problem.
