I installed Manjaro Awesome WM from the official Manjaro site. Everything is good and working but I am experiencing some minor lags time to time. This lags are happening every 30 to 80 seconds and they last for couple of milliseconds which is annoying when I am watching youtube or when I am coding. I taught that this might be the result of widgets that I use in my rc.lua file but after installing another theme for awesome wm, I am still experiencing the same result. Could it be the fact that I use an external monitor connected to my laptop via HDMI? Do you have any suggestion to fix this?
P.S. I should mention that this happens when I disable laptop display and only use external display. When I am using just laptop display or external and internal display, I don’t have this problem.
