How do I fix Chromium-based browser lags

Because you had config files in xorg.conf.d. Without the driver package, they will fail.

Start Welcome using a terminal

sh /usr/share/endeavouros/scripts/welcome

Post the output.

103

Oh I see, so I will remove intel files stored in that directory then.

You can use eos-welcome instead now.

105

So my display manager is sddm

106

@anotherusername
I just used the command which is used in the launcher. :wink:

Launch the welcome app from the terminal. It’ll let you know what might be the problem.

110

As @anotherusername jumped in, I’m out for now.

111

So I typed eos-welcome in terminal and it only launched the Welcome launcher

I pressed Detect system issues and it removed these packages dkms-2.8.1-1 nvidia-installer-db-2.1-5 broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-20 nvidia-installer-dkms-3-2 xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0-1 xf86-video-ati-1:19.1.0-1

112

That’s exactly the reason why I asked if you have any non intel stuff installed. The output of intel_gpu_top showed there was some Nvidia and AMD stuff involved.

113

I never installed it though, sorry for the hassle.

114

No hassle at all. But some possible causes for problems removed.

But now I’m really out. Will be back later.

I see.

Thanks mate :slight_smile:

Just a question if anybody knows, is Chromium based on electron? I think Electron is what is not working properly on my PC since even Atom is also laggy.

117

It’s the other way around. Electron uses Chromium’s rendering library and JavaScript engine

118

Ah I see, so its not electron it is chromium that is causing huge problems, even in Atom it is the same thing.

119

So I managed to remove xf86-video-intel without any issues this time round. Still laggy but yeah.

120

Well, you can try to look through the Chromium’s bugtracker for the similar issues related to Blink.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component%3ABlink&can=2

But honestly after so many posts I lost track of what the actual problem is exactly. Does it work ok with other rendering engines?
