Hi, I have been using the dragonized edition for quite some time (close to a year), it used to be super responsive right from logging in until a few months back. When I log in now, it takes close to 10 to 15 seconds to get to the Desktop (a spinning dragon will be shown until the DE loads). Even after I get the Desktop screen it takes 5 to 8 secs to load the dock etc. Any idea why I am facing such an issue or is it just the KDE startup time? Here is my garuda-inxi
