Poor nvidia performance(compared to mint or pop) and ocasionally minor struggles(like minor and really fast freezing when typing)

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hi. I’m basically coming from Windows. I’ve had short experiences with pop and mint, but i really found myself comfortable using Manjaro. However, i’m experiencing some small and random freezes, more like random lag when typing. Okular has some lag issues too, telegam…and poor steam performance even with optimus installed and nvidia turned on.
I don’t know a thing about linux, i’m trying to learn, so if you tell me the proper comands to post here in order to help you understand if there is something wrong here.
All i can notice is that i had a smooth performance running the same games on mint.

Thank you for your help and patience.

Possibly similar to this?

If not … please start here to share system info:

I don’t think so, i didn’t customize Manjaro att all and i don’t wanna do it.
The only thing i did was install ‘tlp’ and ‘optimus manager’ following these instructions:

And i have installed a couple of thing like spotify, telegram and brave, but that’s all.

Also, i don’t know if it’s relevant but i get some messages when i turn off or restart the notebook.

No, there is no output from: pacman -Qqs ‘-git’

I wonder if there is something similar to this post

Hi. I would like to let you guys know that after the last kernel update(5.10.2-2) it seems that everything is running flawlessly. I don’t what was the problem actually.
I’m very comfortable with Manjaro, and to me, everything just fits!
It’s a great distribution overall and after switched to linux, and distro hopping for a while, it’s safe to say that i found my place into the ‘linux universe’ with Manjaro
Thanks for the wonderful job.
