✅ System health check passed. No issues found.

Post the terminal output from garuda-inxi as requested in the template for your post. Without this output, it will be unnecessarily difficult to help you.

I don’t use Discord myself, but I know that this is a known issue.

Hello and Welcome,

if you would post it in here : https://forum.garudalinux.org/c/issues-assistance/15 you would get more viewers and helpers not in Games just a idea :wink:

It’s fine here, because I moved it here :smiley:

Have you tried this with a really lightweight game? I’m wondering if the laptop can barely run the game as is and gets bogged down trying to do other things.

That’s my first guess anyways.

Are you running your game with prime-run or are you starting your game without any extra launch parameters?

Without any launch parameters, the game will start on your integrated Intel GPU, which is probably unable to keep pace with the game and your OS UI at the same time.

It didn’t help

These games run normally on Windows

Pls post pacman -Qs nvidia
That you really know if your dgpu (nvidia) is in use, start game → open konsole →
nvidia-smi and post the result

This statement doesn’t help anyone. Describe exactly what happens, whether there are error messages, etc.

Ya again, more useless info. Nobody on Linux forum’s gives a tinkers damn about Windows.
