Hi, I recently had trouble getting Wayland to work, so I was on X11. No w I finally managed to have it autodetect the resolution and not mirror the screen to my second monitor. However, now my PC is extremelly laggy (stutter every ~2 seconds, even the cursor) and I don't have a task bar. Right-clicking on the desktop doesn't do anything and pressing CTRL+ALT+T does make a small Konsole logo jump up and down on the cursor, nothing actually opens up. Moving the mouse into the top left corner does trigger the view of desktops (this post was written while I am currently in this wayland session).

Since I have an nvidia gpu (specifically a 30xx series) I followed the Archwiki, specifically under "Wayland" I set the environment variables under Requirements and then enabled the drm kernel mode setting in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf and confiormed after a restart that the modeset was in fact 1 via the command under DRM kernel mode setting in the NVIDIA article.

After that I added the rest of the early loading stuff and regenerated the initramfs and rebooted, which is where I am now. I can't find any more info on what to do and would appreciate all help.

I don't have these issues on X11, I'm using that right now. I only have these issues on wayland. I have not tried a second user profile, but I'll try to create one now
