I have not opened anything on my system but then too it always lags. So, I downloaded a Task manager to find out the CPU usage of each application. I rebooted my system then I wait for 10-15 seconds then I opened the Task Manager and I see this :
can anyone explain this?
And your inxi -Faz?

I'll bet dollars to donuts it's Baloo.
What's the output from balooctl status?
What does task manager say ordering by CPU desc?
╰─λ balooctl status
Baloo File Indexer is running
Indexer state: Idle (Powersave)
Total files indexed: 42,725
Files waiting for content indexing: 2
Files failed to index: 0
Current size of index is 422.38 MiB
IDK..pls tell me how to fix this..its too frustrating 
I think if you click on the CPU column it should order by that field. Maybe once or twice, ascending/ descending
I have checked , its in descending order!
Since you are on KDE why don't you check also with system monitor. Or htop also.
Heyy..I actually had not updated Garuda since 5-6 months.,, So I did sudo pacman -Syu then rebooted, and now everything seems fine 
That's a fantastic stress test of Garuda's stability over a massive update!
