you should use timeshift, very usefull …
in the logs there was some logs referring to bbswitch, and i think 6 coredumps of plasmashell…
post output from:
pacman -Qm
pacman -Qs 'optimus|bbswitch|bumblebee'
sorry for delay (I’ve been under power cut due to russian fascists fire attacks to our critical infrastructure)
I’ve installed timeshift (though current snapshots are “erroneous”)

Thanks, I’ve already tried downgrade kscreen and libkscreen to 5.25.1 - it did not help.
As for downgrading to plasma LTS 5.25: I’m not sure if that could effect newly installed kde applications that rely on the latest version.
not sure if optimus is better than nvidia-prime overall.
nothing suspicious in the pacman -Qm output…
you had something in the logs regarding bbswitch…
switching completely to nvidia could be worth a try… use envycontrol:
pamac build envycontrol
when done, switch to nvidia:
sudo envycontrol -s nvidia
it will prompt you for reboot, so do it, and see if that helps…
Doesn’t it eliminate the role of Intel graphics card as the one that freeing up the Nvidia card from full load?
The confrontational “activity” between current nvidia-prime and envycontrol is excluded?
well yes, you will be 100% on nvidia …
but this is only for testing purposes…
and what activity? dont understand what you mean
I mean: could nvidia-prime somehow conflict with envycontrol (when both installed) in managing hybrid configuration?
no it doesnt conflict, i have also intel+nvidia prime, and use envycontrol, and no issues …

pamac build fastfetch
to see if it works
I’ve launched pamac install jdk today (as timeshift dependency) successfully.

all right, so theres something wrong with envycontrol…
so install optimus manager, it resets the graphics configs, so maybe it will help:
sudo pacman -S optimus-manager
dont install any dependecies like acpi call, bbswitch, only optimus…
then do this:
edit the file kate /etc/sddm.conf and simply put a # before the line starting with DisplayCommand and the one starting with DisplayStopCommand - you may not have these lines there…
reboot… if it didnt helped, try switching to nvidia:

Ok, that seems working to get superficially expected behavior.
But, optimus-manager --switch hybrid still extremely lags/slows down the system.
so switching to nvidia works and you have no issue with the monitor?
what are the results when you switch to integrated?
it outputs on laptop display only (as it should, I guess).
But in each mode there’s a strange bug: when focusing on some icon in taskbar and closing the underlying app - the taskbar disappears (sliding down effect) and after a second - slides up again, sometimes reporting “kioslave5 crach” in report window.
I’m on optimus-manager --switch nvidia mode now.
well at least the monitor works on nvidia …
and did you had the taskbar issue before installing optimus?
actually, yes
could be caused with nvidia drivers, or related to plasma… just have to wait untill next stable update, and hoping its fixed… or maybe switch to testing branch
in my situation
downgrade kscreen libkscreen help me.
try diferent version to find more stable combination kscreen and libkscreen
I Use:
video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime last stable version
nvidia-utils 525.60.11-2
kscreen and libkscreen to 5.25.1<=
KDE Plasma 5.26.4
KDE FW 5.101.0
QT 5.15.7
Kernel 5.15.85-1 Manjaro
X11
I can say all my system have stable last update
