Any Linux distro underperforms with Intel graphics card - it lags when using web browsers

i am not that firm on all intel settings… i will do some testing on this, but i do own only older intels, may completely do not work without xf86-video-intel… i will try this now:
from here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel#Installation

Thanks man I am really sorry for all the trouble, I really just want to use EndeavourOS. I find it to be very close to my likings and I really think this is a cool distro.

@joekamprad

To force Xorg server to use the Intel DDX driver with SNA for hardware accelleration, the following file can be created in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/:

FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.confForce Intel DDX

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"    "sna"
EndSection

So is this correct I added the lines as you suggested and this is how the file looks like.

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
  Driver "intel"
  Option      "AccelMethod"    "sna"

  Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

As mentioned above, the modesetting DDX driver is now the default driver on newer Intel graphics chipsets for Gentoo. This driver uses GLAMOR to accelerate 2D graphical over Mesa (the open source OpenGL implementation). As of x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19 this has become the default for Gentoo.

I hope these drivers work correctly for endeavourOS.

@joekamprad

If it’s necessary to force Xorg to load the modesetting driver the following config snippet can be used:

FILE /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.confForce modesetting DDX

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "modesetting"
    Option      "AccelMethod"    "glamor"
    Option      "DRI"            "3"
EndSection

Ok so I created the file and added the lines.

So after doing all of that do I now remove the xf86-video-intel drivers?
