Hey guys, I installed EndeavourOS yesterday to start playing on a linux machine instead of windows and was perfectly fine playing CSGO at 100+fps

Today I’m not getting over 1fps in the main menu. Can anybody help with this? I’ve ran pacman -Qs nvidia and this is what I got:

[lukas@Endeavoros ~]$ pacman -Qs nvidia

Running “lspci -k | grep -PA3 ‘VGA|3D|Display’” I get:

Have you looked at htop to make sure nothing else is consuming lots of system resources?

Which DE(xfce/kde/gnome/etc) are you using? Is there a compositor running?

htop results seem normal
I’m running budgie and not sure what a compositor is

Try placing the results of inxi -Fxxxz within </> in a comment. That command provides pretty good info on your setup.
