Additional context

While Manjaro may not be part of the test scope, it might be useful to find a fix for this, I suspect that the performance is set too low when (almost) idling.

Solutions you've tried

None.

Which kernel version is this? Can be software rendering due to older kernel perhaps?

@macpijan 6.9.3-3-MANJARO

I found out that switching to Wayland causes freezing at logging in (100% reproducible).

Might be because of Meteor Lake, but the kernel seems rather new to me.

Can proprietary drivers be necessary here? We selected open drivers at the installation menu of the USB pen drive.

@wessel-novacustom could you paste the output from sudo dmesg here? I found sometimes the distro provided linux-firmware is too old for MTL graphics

I had a similar issue running hyprland on arch. Fixed it by adding the following kernel parameter and rebooting.

initcall_blacklist=simpledrm_platform_driver_init

Seems arch was loading the old simple framebuffer device module without that parameter set, which doesn't work on Intel arc igpu

Some kind of driver must have been missing, the problem disappeared after a while during regular OS system updates.
