Hi there, welcome to the forum.
Are you using the nvidia-open-dkms driver, as suggested in the Arch wiki?

Have you tried an x11 session at login instead of wayland?

I’ll try that, thanks

Since when, from the beginning? After an update? Permanently or only from time to time? Only under full CPU load? Only under GPU full load? When idle? Only with certain applications? Please describe your issue better.


Edit:

Does this only happen in battery mode or also when the charger is connected?

Does the CPU clock up under load or does it stay at the same frequency?

In addition to the good questions @nepti asked:

How do you define “micro-freezes”? What happens exactly? Does it happen randomly or when you do something specific?

Also, 2544 packages and 640 processes seems a lot more than default. Are you sure there are no background processes installed that could cause this?
