Manjaro started booting slow and I experience fps drops while gaming which used to never happen

Basically what the title says. When I first installed manjaro everything was fine, it was booting quickly and I’ve had no issues with playing games. Now I experience low fps to a degree where games are not playable and manjaro boots really slow. Did I ■■■■ up something accidentally?

Here is my inxi output :

Thanks. I have put the inxi output now.

I guess I will just reinstall manjaro. Been trying to solve this for a while and couldn’t manage.
