Manjaro KDE critical bug: Plasmashell extreme CPU usage + IO write (also affecting lattedock, dolphin, krunner)

The mimeapps.list file tricks didn’t help me at first, so I patiently installed all the non git versions of packages, what a pain!

I agree that this is terrible, I really appreciate the work of Manjaro devs, but something like this should never be in the stable branch…

Thank you so much for the simple solution. The sudden CPU hogging and write was driving me nuts. I even did clean reinstalls a couple of times but didn’t have much time to check up on it till today with work and all.

Thanks, this worked for me! :slight_smile:

Update: it happered again and again. Every time I save desktop settings my CPU usage spikes.
I then Run " cd ~ && find .config -name mimeapps.list -exec mv {} {}.back \;" and it calms down.
I hope a permanent fix is on the way.
Cheers
