Hi guys, im still not so familiar with linux (and have poor english), but i’ll try to explain myself as good i can.
The problem:

important notes:
Im using manjaro on unstable branch.
I updated my kernel to the latest stable version (6.8.7 - 2024/04/17) (and nothing changed).
Same behaviour using Wayland or X11.
Currently using open-source amd drivers.
The same laptop worked fine on windows.
This is my first post and im still learning about linux (please be kind with me

inxi -fazy
Hello @FilippoB ,
at first please run inxi again with this command and repost the output:
inxi -Fazy
In most cases linuxsystems make a different between upper and lower case. So ‘inxi -Fayz’ and inxi -fayz’ show different results.
And we need the big F.
Hi @FilippoB and welcome to the Manjaro community.
Perhaps this is something you should not be doing if you are:
…but, at least you’ll have first-hand exposure to problems before most everyone else.
There is no comparison between Linux and Windows.
I’ve seen several issues raised on this topic. Your system seems capable enough, however, when it comes to Games, it can be difficult to gain the performance you might expect on Linux.
If these are Steam games, I saw one mention of changing to another server (via Steam) that apparently made some difference. If you are trying to run these games via WINE, or another WINE-based method, I doubt general performance will ever improve.
A little housekeeping…
As a new user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit. To that end, some or all these links will be invaluable:
And last, but not least, the Stable Update Announcements , which you should check frequently for important update related information. Occasionally an issue might be directly related to a particular update; it’s always best to check those announcements.
Cheers.
Hi, thanks for trying to help me!

I also forgot to say that i tested my laptop with a fresh manjaro installation from another disks and had the same performances.
I appreciated your tips:
I know the “risks” of using Unstable, and i chose it just to experiment linux. Maybe i’ll consider a “rollback” since i also use my laptop as note-taking instrument everyday.
I also make a comparison with windows only to let you know that the pc hardware is not faulty or something like that. Im ““complaining”” about my graphics performance, beacuse i personally ran the same games (the lightests) on a Celeron N3050 with similar performances (i just did it for pure fun), so i have a sort of “comparison” about performances in specific games in linux.
Thank you for recommending this links to me, i’ll read them.
