i have looked for this issue everywhere but i couldn't find anything that matched my problem; it's not that i have a slow machine or that my apps crash, the animations are simply SLOW.
this happened impromptu after a 'yay' update i did. i don't use pacman, only yay.
the problem is whenever I open something it's like the animations are slow (take about 2-3 seconds to slowly load up). by animations, i mean literally anything I click on; wifi, bluetooth icons, opening the browser, clicking on the 3 bars INSIDE the browser, etc.
im suspecting its an animation problem, but i have tried to activate/deactivate them but it didn't do much.
i didn't really find much info about this issue so if you could help me out, that would save me some unnecessary frustration, thank you!

Hardware, display server, drivers and gui session would be rather rewlevant to know…

We need the whole journal, please run (as root)
journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
It will output a URL, post that url .
For the hardware post the output of lspci -k in code tags , see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … s_and_code
X or wayland ?
What Window Manager / Desktop Environment / Compositor are you using ?
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

to answer from the bottom, i have Wayland, the window manager is KWin, the desktop env is KDE and the compositor is kwin_wayland
here's the URL for journalctl: http://0x0.st/XHgb.txt
and one of lspci -k : http://0x0.st/XHge.txt
thanks again for the help!

You have a hybrid intel + nvidia graphics system.
In order to prevent clashes with simpledrm , add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 as paramater to your kernel boot line.
Check the doc for your chosen bootloader how to do that.
the journal shows hundreds of lines like
Apr 28 11:54:02 speedy auto-cpufreq[202608]: /usr/bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq: line 105: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
Are you using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/auto-cpufreq ?
Does the slowness improve when you remove auto-cpufreq for testing purposes ?

it's not that i have a slow machine or that my apps crash, the animations are simply SLOW.

Do you experience the same slowness w/ Plasma on X11?
