[SOLVED] Constant stuttering on Xorg or Xwayland

I am having an issue where any app that runs under Xorg or Xwayland stutters badly every 20 or less seconds, I haven't tried much because I didn't find anything about it on google, I just switched from fedora to arch and fedora didn't have this issue, Here are my system specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz
GPU: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 3000
RAM: 8 GB of DDR3 at 1333 MHz

Notes: Every app stutters even the DE (KDE 6.1) if it's run under Xorg or Xwayland, On wayland this issue is completely non-existent, When the stuttering happens the mouse cursor is completely fine, I have xf86-video-intel installed if that makes any difference.

If you need any other information, tell me and I will provide.

Sorry if my english is bad, it isn't my first language.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Get rid of xf86-video-intel in any case, and potentially also post

glxinfo -B

Re: [SOLVED] Constant stuttering on Xorg or Xwayland

Getting rid of xf86-video-intel fixed the stuttering, but now everything feels way slower and choppier.
Output of glxinfo -B:

name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):

Should I mark the post as [SOLVED] now that the stuttering is fixed?

Re: [SOLVED] Constant stuttering on Xorg or Xwayland

I'd say so, generally speaking your on a somewhat low power 12 year old integrated card, I'm not sure you can really get much better with modern GPU demands of up to date software. FWIW fedora will most likely also not have installed xf86-video-intel, or if so paired with the older i915 mesa driver that's found in mesa-amber
