I am getting random application freezes on Xorg on a freshly installed Arch Linux on a new Thinkpad T14s gen 6 (AMD), using Xorg with xmonad as the WM. Some details about the freezes:
- The UI gets stuck and doesn't refresh for 5-10 seconds (dmenu gets frozen forever), but the applications still works if I wait enough time for the freeze to resolve or I do some action with it.
- It only happen with some applications (emacs, keepassxc, dmenu)
- It never happen with other applications (alacritty, firefox, chromium)
- They seem to be purely UI freezes, the computer still works, I can change virtual desktops and keep working with something else. Sometimes changing virtual desktops and coming back solves the application freeze, sometimes it doesn't.
- The freezes don't seem to cause any CPU or memory spikes as far as I could see on htop.
- Any key presses I do during the freeze are correctly registered and executed by the application.
- I can't see any errors on "journalctl -f" during the freezes.
Any ideas how could I debug this or what could cause this kind of issue?
