Constant stuttering after fresh installation

Yeah its pretty self explanatory
It makes it like really hard to move windows cause they keep just going back to their original position
This is also on KDE Plasma and i cant really tell if its just KDE being dumb
I did install nvidia-open and i dont have any RAM errors

Video to show what im talking about (The stutters are from the PC not the recording)

(Sorry if it sounds like im right next to a hydraulic press)

Im really new to Arch so the "fixes" i found for this be talking in ancient egyptian hieroglyphs
Ight thats basically it

Re: Constant stuttering after fresh installation

I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to see in that video, but are you trying to move around a maximized window?
Also: X11 or wayland and is the other display server affected as well?

Re: Constant stuttering after fresh installation

All I can see is you wildly yanking the mouse around - the infinite mirror effect, focus flicker and randomly popping up window  doesn't really help to clarify things either.
Can you produce this w/ only the mouse on screen and steadily moving the cursor from left to right and back?

For a wild guess, does

export WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1
export KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1

in some *executable* script in /etc/profile.d/ help?

Re: Constant stuttering after fresh installation

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Environment_variables

The cursor "only" stalls and then skips the missing frames.
Do glxgears or eglgears expose the same behavior (where the gears just stall and then jump)?
Is your monitor https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate capable? Can you deactivate that (in the monitors OSD)?
