I installed EndevourOS on my Lenovo Ideapad 5i and it’s giving me some problems with some programs. When I try to open them, they seem to freeze or act strange. These programs include but are not limited to
-Kdenlive
-Steam
-Retroarch
-Kodi
-mpv Media Player
The EndevourOS quick Installer
-VLC
Glitches Include quick flashing between two frames and in the case of Kdenlive, thinking I’m selecting something when I didn’t.
Can someone tell me what is going on, and how to fix it? Here’s my neofetch just in case.
Since this is new hardware, I would suggest installing the latest kernel with sudo pacman -Syu linux instead of using the LTS kernel. Let me know if that helps your issue. Also make sure mesa and xf86-video-intel are both installed on your system.

I already had the normal kernel installed on my laptop. As to why I have LTS, well, it’s just a force of habit, since I had tested EndevourOS on older laptops in the past. So I restarted my laptop, made sure I selected the normal kernel instead of the LTS one, and… it still has the problems.
It worked. Now I can play Cave Story… with screen tearing.
I’ve got a question though, was there something I could have done to prevent this? When I installed EndevourOS on my Ideapad for the first time, I installed it with KDE, and then I had to reinstall it with XFCE because the driver made KDE unusable.
