I recently installed manjaro on my Laptop Dell Inspiron 5577. It has Nvidia GTX 1050 Graphic card, I had checked non open source drivers during installation process and I had video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-455xx prime initially, and Im using 5.9.8-2 Kernel currently.
I think I have installed the system with UEFI Mode + Legacy PROM and with secure boot mode off. (Not sure though, bit noob in all this)
My system has 24 gb Ram and 512 GB SSD. I Have given around 90 gb of ssd for root and 90 gb HDD for /home. I really don’t understand why the system feels so laggy and irresponsive. When I open any application it opens after a delay and sometimes doesnt open at all and suddenly opens at one time with too many instances.
I had given around 4 GB Swap space since I had sufficient Ram, I tried lot of things but none have worked so far, I really love the KDE Experience and the Arch Linux Experience, thus I do not want to leave Manjaro, can anyone help me troubleshoot my problem, I would really appreciate it.
Also I changed the compositor to open GL 3 still I dont find much difference. I tried to use different driver version (450xx-prime) but the performance is still very bad.
