Sometimes Gnome is lethargic after booting my system (two GPUs)

Sometimes when I reboot, during login and use of Gnome, it is very lethargic (i.e. laggy). Maximizing windows might take a second or more. Clicking the panel to, say, make Bluetooth settings might take a second or two.

The fix is to either reboot, or turn my machine off for a bit, then turn it back on. Sometimes just rebooting helps, sometimes I have to power down.

I’ve looked at logs in the past, but they’re a lot of haystack, and not much needle.

This may very well be because I have two GPUs, an Intel Arc A380 that drives my displays, and an Nvidia RTX A4500 for CUDA/machine learning only.

A fix would be nice, but it’s definitely something I can work around, just a papercut :slight_smile:

I have these (User) extensions installed:

Quick first step would be to disable all user shell extensions and check.

Thanks.
I’ll give that a try.
