Optimize manjaro gnome performance

[lachi]

Hi guys, I’m running the manjaro phavo gnome version on my laptop. Everything seems to be working fine. but my laptop is getting hot with only 2 firefox tabs. I already installed tlp but it seems it didn’t help.

any suggestions?

Edit: by installing normal firefox and thermald it seems that the performance has improved a bit

Hello @lachi,

first please read this and let us know more about your machine:

How to provide good information

Welcome to Manjaro! To allow all of us helpful people on this forum TO HELP YOU, we need some basic information about your system. This probably means you described the symptoms of your problem, but now we need some more information to know where the origin of your issue is exactly. Someone else probably linked you to this tutorial, so if you’re reading this in response to a question, please click the link above this text to bring you to the full and unabridged text of the tutorial…

Have you tested it also with stable firefox?
On my side massive disk io cause also an high ‘Load’. You can have a look to ‘disk io’ through htop too.
And if the Laptop is an older one dirt can also cause thermal issues.

[clubberlang]

CPU usage is too high. Perhaps the Firefox Developer isn’t optimized for some intensive Javascript

[lachi]

I’ll try the normal version

[lachi]

Updated my post. I’ll look into ‘disk.io’. not sure what you mean by stable firefox?

[kisun]

Yes I mean the normal firefox.

And you can save your pc stats in your forum profile, so everyone can see by clicking your avatar.

But thats not exactly what I mean by more infomation. I mean type

inxi -Fxxa

in your terminal and post the output here, so we can see the hardware you use.
