In the past few days, I’ve noticed that my Lenovo X270, which is running Manjaro KDE, has been performing sluggishly. Whether it’s opening applications or loading web pages in Firefox, everything seems to be lagging. There’s even a delay when typing. The boot time, however, is still OK.
I recently installed Manjaro 24.2.1 Yonada KDE on this device, and it was functioning well until about a week ago. My typical Manjaro setup is:
Enable Wayland
Turn on automatic app updates
Enable AUR and Flatpak support
Install and enable ProtonVPN
Install the latest Linux kernal
Enable Firewall
Tweak settings and customisation
Uninstall unnecessary apps
Removed Orphaned packages
Enable TimeShift
