That didn't fix the problem. In terminal, it gives several EGL errors (EGL_BAD_MATCH) and quits.
Please post the actual output of
DRI_PRIME=1 blender
then

EGL Error (0x3009): EGL_BAD_MATCH: Arguments are inconsistent (for example, a valid context requires buffers not supplied by a valid surface).
Warning: Unsupported platform as it supports max 0 SSBO binding locations
EGL Error (0x3009): EGL_BAD_MATCH: Arguments are inconsistent (for example, a valid context requires buffers not supplied by a valid surface).

Blender quit

Should there be something else, what does "then" in your reply mean?

I guess that's how it is, the only option in this position is to resign. I always can use Blender 3.6, the newer versions don't provide something I can't use the program without.
Also, if I run Blender 3.6 with the same argument I tried to run Blender 4.4 with, it works with AMD GPU too (expected), and everything works smoother than with Intel; but with that, Blender can freeze for 2-3 seconds, and then bring back to normal. The inputs while the freezes are being registered, but it annoys and disturbs me as it happens once a minute. Is there a way to fix this?

Does "DRI_PRIME=1 glxgears" show the same behavior as "DRI_PRIME=1 blender" (2-3s freeze every 60s?)

No, everything is perfect, it doesn't freeze at all.

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.639 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.901 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.605 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.915 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.838 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.946 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.942 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.872 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.773 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.859 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.879 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.927 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.804 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.787 FPS
300 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.889 FPS

Does those freezes go along any spikes in top or itop?
Or kernel messages/X11 messages?
Do you use the modesetting driver or xf86-video-radeon?

No, it just freezes without any artifacts.
The only message I get when launching Blender is:

Failed to open dir (No such file or directory): /run/user/1000/gvfs/

I guess I use modesetting driver because xf86-video-radeon is not installed.

If you run glxgears next to blender, does it freeze /with/ blender?

2-3s are massive and I'd suspect sth. like swapping RAM/general disk IO, GPU resets or some expensive loop in the GUI thread to be the cause.
It's not like you're just skipping two or three frames...

To be honest, Blender doesn't seem to have this problem anymore. After restarting the system, Blender works smoothly with no lags at all, alone or with glxgears. I think we're done with everything. Thank you for assistance!

Um, I wanted to do that but I just can't find how. How to change the title of my thread?

Click https://bbs.archlinux.org/edit.php?report=2243664 - the OP also allows to edit the subject line.

The link doesn't work. But I decided to click "Edit" on the very first post in this thread, and I could change the subject name.
