Hello, lately I have been having a problem of system constantly hanging up and freezing(from few seconds hang up to freeze that could take over a minute). They are happening very oftenly like 2-3 times in a minute. System is barely useable. The freezes are most common and long when switching from one program to another or performing any other IO heavy task such as installing or updating packages though they constantly happen even while just browsing regularly. During the hang up I ussualy can still move mouse and for example if there are gifs on web page they are still moving not frozen, however it does not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input untill the hang up passes. Sometimes it freezes completely for a minute or longer when even mouse is frozen. Strangely though I don’t seem to have such freezing problems while playing games(untill I try to switch to any other window).
I recently had a full system update with pacman -Syu I suspect it could have triggered it.
Things I have already tried:
Trying out different kernel versions: linux-zen-6.14.2, linux-zen-6.15.2, linux-6.15.6, linux-6.12.37 did not help.
Running btrfs scrub to look for disk errors. Did not help, no errors found.
Checking out cpu temperature. No overheating.
Checking out if there are any processes that could be consuming unreasonable amount of system usage, no such proceses found.
Setting fstab btrfs options to rw,defaults. Did not help.
I am sending my system information.
