I have not found anything like this issue exactly what I will describe, so I have come to the desperation to come to here so I do not have to distro-hop once again :slight_smile:

I experience a complete framerate drop (randomly, it feels) after a little while of using my laptop. To my knowledge, There is no app which directly causes this, since I tested each one on reboot. Therefore, I believe it is something to do with Wayland, since on x11 I have yet to get this issue.

The process which happens is:

  • Using laptop normally, randomly system will completely freeze up: the mouse cursor moves at an incredibly slow framerate, as does all the system. Turning off no app will solve the issue, login in and out won’t either. The only fix is a reboot.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If anything else is needed from me in terms of logs or trying, please let me know.

I’m experiencing the same. I’m very new to Linux (I was using WSL for a long time, but only just switched over to a pure Linux setup). I wasn’t sure if this was just what the expected behavior was, but it seemed unlikely. It runs smoothly for around 2 hours after a restart, and then gradually starts getting slower.

Unfortunately I can’t advise on how you could resolve it, but at least I’m able to tell you that you’re likely not alone.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues as well. My system however does not get gradually slower, it completely drops off in framerate inexplicably. My best guess is something to do with a Wayland process, given that I do not experience this on x11. Another thing to add, is I have an AMD GPU, and not an nVidia card.
