Hi, I am finding a new installation of Garuda really slow, which seems odd given my machine's specs (inxi output at the bottom). Typing in this dialog is I see the output a few characters behind the keys I'm pressing and everything else seems to be lagging too. As I type this I can see that my CPU isn't going above 20% and averages around 2% and free
tells me that I have 25Gib of ram available, and y network is hardly being used.
Could this be because I'm running on integrated graphics -- kde is sometimes a bit heavy? Is Chrome just behaving badly and messing me up? Tbh, I have just started using Fire Dragon and the typing seems to be less laggy, but I can't use this for work as I need profile support from Chrome (plus, my client uses Chrome so everything has to work in Chrome). Typing also appears laggy in slack and teams.
In case its relevant, I installed most of these packages using yay, and I have been using gnu/linux professionally since it was first released.
Here's the output from top:

As you might see, I'm running zoom, chrome, steam, teams, and slack, along with chrome. I need to use this machine for Development and DevOps but as it stands performance is so low I'm going to have to abandon it soon. Please help as I don't want to do that.
I've tried closing apps, to see if anything is causing the issue, but nothing seems to help.
