From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a bug I just experienced on one of my manjaro computers. I was puzzled as fuck because cpu/io usage wasn't high but it was pretty slow.

Maybe this will help someone.

I had that happened to me using i3, the fix for me was

Remove/replace xdg-desktop-portal-gnome with the -gtk variant

As stated here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286103

Haha, knew it was related to portals. Apps taking 20-30s to open while the system is not under stress is almost always a portals misconfiguration.

Try to remove 'xdg-desktop-portal-gnome' if you have it and then logout the screen

Thanks! Turns out I had xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland left installed from a previous test (now running on i3)

Thanks!
I have this bug with Firefox and Thunderbird on my laptop, but not the workstation. Already re-installed and was equally puzzled as I didn't saw any load either

I had actually given up trying to solve this...now it's fixed.

I'd hug you if I could. THANKS!

I’ve been experiencing this issue too! Finally, thank you for this

Nope, all fine here.

Wow, I've had this for maybe a year now and was just living with it. Figured it was an audio thing, but Firefox only. Hopefully this fixes it.

Edit: yep, fixed! 😮‍💨

I had this kind of problem recently. It was something around flatpack. I removed everything related to flatpack and it solved the problem.

Exactly what I had to do a couple months ago as well!
