Hello
My system has been fine, spare the occasional hiccup here and there and garuda linux has been a delight, but I can’t seem to switch to an external monitor without my system becoming disturbingly slow.
I frequently need just my external monitor lit because my feline companion will claim the space on my keyboard unless I have it tucked away while I use my bluetooth keyboard. I need to keep the lid closed on my device for that reason.
When I close my laptop, my external monitor remains lit as it should, but all of my icons, any animation I use slows down so much you’d think I’m on a pre-2000 era computer. It’s not usable in this condition. If I am not on my external monitor or even have my laptop monitor and external monitor on simultaneously, it’s fine.
I’ve tried downgrading my xorg-server to versions 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.20.10, and 1.20.13 after reading a bit about a similar problem here:
I took a peak at this one to:
It didn’t seem to have much to do with external monitors, but I didn’t see any harm in installing a few nvidia drivers:
sudo pacman -S nvidia-dkms nvidia-lts nvidia-prime nvidia-utils
I’m not finding any useful information on my specific issue, moreover I am still an Arch newcomer to be completely frank
