Hi
I’ve actually a problem with my apps starting from search menu or over shortcuts, so that the apps start really slow, and buggy. sometimes apps are called (icon on mouse showed) but but not opened then. Sometimes i need to call apps twice or more, to start them, and even then it’s slow. And even when the app is opened, it kind of needs half a minute or such to be usable. i had a fresh install of fedora 43 (Plasma) (now updated to 44), and problem kind of persisted from the beginning.
i tried x11 as well as wayland, both is problematic. i’ve tried to look, if it’s a problem with the compositor, which seems not to be, but possible. (activate / deactivate). I talked for “hours” with GPT and tried much stuff which don’t seem to fix it.
my GPU is Nvidia. (rpm drivers)
Don’t know if this is important. But System startup is also kind of really slow: LUKS takes 2 minutes or such, and login perhaps 1-1.5, (not exactly mesearued).
When i measure app start time over cli it seems to be better (and sometimes good). generally, starting apps over cli seems to function better.
So: I’ve really tried much (perhaps also stupid stuff) and do just not find out, what the problem is. Now i wonder, if i should refresh / reinstall the whole system or if even should change to the Gnome Version of fedora, because this could also more be a problem with plasma. (but i really like plasma… ;-))
so my question is, if somebody knows this problem, or has a link / hint to this? is this common? I’m not so motivated to reinstall the whole system, since this takes much time.
kind regards
