Hi, my CPU usage is very high. If i have a browser running it s about 20% and the OS is laggy, if I open a wine game on lutris (in which i would normally have 60+fps) the CPU usage goes to 90% and the game loads forever in 2 fps. Ngl but I have no ideea what to do.
I have a gtx 1660 super, AMD ryzen 5 3600, 16 gb 3200mhz RAM.
Hi there, welcome.
I'm usually very flexible about this (and wrong), but why on earth, in a topic about performance issues, did you not follow the requirement to include your garuda-inxi at the topic creation?
After adding that, when possible, try also to retrieve some information (e.g. with htop) on the processes taking most of your resources during those laggy periods.
The first thing I would say is to install the Nvidia proprietary driver with the HW assistant (Garuda Welcome → Garuda Settings Manager → Hardware Configuration).
Thanks for the reply, I installed the proprietary drivers but now I'm getting this when it boots up
Loading Linux linux-zen...
Loading initial ramdisk...
If you noticed currently I have dual boot with windows. I really want to get rid of windows. Previously I had Ubuntu and windows dual boot. I installed garuda because it had better performance.....
Sorry if there are some misspellings...English is not my native language.
Oh, and it just keeps saying that it is partially upgraded and I have to install pipeware-support but if I try to install it it gives me an error that pipeware support cannot be installed because it conflicts with pipeware-something(I can't remember), now I can't boot it so can't send you the error.
Try booting from the live USB, then use the chroot utility (in the Garuda Welcome). This will let you in your installed system from the live USB.
Then enter update in the terminal after chrooting.
This should possibly fix the partial upgrade problem.
From there, you can copy possible error messages here.
PS: Hold on, there must be something going on which is being fixed soon I guess.

That's OK.
Do you have a file /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf that contains blacklist nouveau ?
You can use again cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf...
If not, create it with micro /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf, add that contents, ctrl+S, crtl+Q
After that, you could try dkms autoinstall
and let's see if there are error messages there...
Sorry, edited in the same moment my post above to avoid you reach the maximum topics (10 I think) in your first day.
Try dkms autoinstall
and let's see if there are error messages there...
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.15.12-zen1-1-zen cannot be found at /usr/lib/modules/5.15.12-zen1-1-zen/build or /usr/lib/modules/5.15.12-zen1-1-zen/source.
Please install the linux-headers-5.15.12-zen1-1-zen package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
Auch, I'm afraid that's a topic I really know little. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support
I guess you'll have to remove the modules for that specific old kernel version, and rebuild for the current kenrel version.
But I'm afraid we'll have to wait for someone else
If I can dare, I'd try dkms remove --no-depmod -m nvidia -v 495.46-2 -k 5.15.12-zen1-1-zen
and then (maybe not even necessary) dkms install --no-depmod nvidia/495.46-2 -k 5.16.2.zen1-1
Hi, since I had no important files on the PC I reinstalled garuda. Now it works like charm. For me the fastest solution was reinstalling. Thank you again for your help and time!
