I’ve been running Cachy OS with Plasma DE on my Acer Aspire a515-55 laptop for about a month and, overall, I must say I loved it so far. There’s one weird issue that’s finally stretched my nerve too thin:
Typing generally feels very heavy as if there’s some noticable input lag between what I type and the display of it on the screen. The text would even occasionally freeze for a brief moment before catching up with what I am typing - this happens like twice an hour or almost anytime I am typing very fast.
If I were to compare this experience with anything, I’d say it’s like typing in an SSH shell connected to a very far away server with latencies over 300ms.
The machine is used for a lot of typing and this is why it really bothers me.
Hardware seems to be recognized and fully loaded. The machine sleeps, and even hibernates out of the box without any problems. GUI apps feel snappy as well as animations and all, so I hardly doubt it’s a GPU issue at all as well. The CPU boosts correctly, don’t overheat and everything besides typing feels very responsive and snappy.
In any case, I am at my wits end here to try and find the cause for this. I am hoping someone here could help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks!
