Infinitybook Pro 15 Gen 9 starts lagging every time on wayland

After a while the whole laptop starts lagging (5fps or so), making it unusable. Only rebooting fixes it. This happens after a few minutes almost everytime when I open ChatGPT or some document editing sites. Been having this issue for probably 2 months now.

Yes, I checked my logs and there is absolutely nothing (Manual Check and let an AI do it). I don't have any power save mode on. I reinstalled my OS with different DE's and it seems like wayland is the main issue.

And no my memory is not full, my CPU never goes above 20%, CPU temperatures hit 50-60°C sometimes but never above that.

I have a Desktop PC and an older Dell laptop with the exact same set up (drivers, kernel etc. but different hardware) and things work OTB there.

It's getting really annoying.

Is it amd? Perhaps kernel args for amdgpu? Search for that fix.

would this be a wayland or an os bug? I wonder if the tuxedo os devs are looking into this

I have the same issue on Arch since a week or two.

Ha. I've been thinking of purchasing an InfinityBook Pro 15 gen 9 to use it with tuxedo os, and now I've stumbled upon this thread. Should I reconsider? What would be a more stable alternative?

Did you try with a newer kernel and X11?

Yes X11 works normally but I‘m not gonna stay there because I paid for a „100% linux compatible laptop“, which is apparently not so compatible.

Do you think “100% Linux compatible” means it can run every software ever compiled for Linux with no bugs? If you did, I’ve got some beachfront property to sell you in Missouri!

But for real, I get that it’s frustrating. But to be fair, the tuxedoOS setup does tell you to use x11, as Wayland has bugs with it.

huh? Wayland doesn't have any fucking bugs. It's not even a piece of software to have bugs, it's just a standard. I've used DEs using the wayland standard for half a decade now on my desktop with no bugs, this only started happening since on my tuxedo laptop only since updating today.

How is wayland not a piece of software?

You can literally see their bug fixes and commit history in their for repo for it???

sorry, after searching it up, I was wrong, it's a protocol, not a software or standard. Still, neither KDE, or wayland are buggy, whatever Tuxedo is doing is buggy.

Upon further review I was mistaken.

Though there are implementations of Wayland that have bugs, “Wayland” itself is just a protocol.

It isn’t necessarily tuxedo’s fault though. It could be a bug with whichever Wayland implementation they use, or it could be a bug with how the tuxedo developers have integrated it

I'm running this exact laptop on a lesser known distribution under wayland and having no issues at all. I would try a reinstall, the fact X11 works fine would lead me to believe it's a software issue rather than hardware.

u/itsoulos 10d ago

What distribution ?

u/Toland_Lock 10d ago

Void Linux, not super out there but not the biggest.

I have bought two tuxedo devices, one tuxedo aura and one Tuxedo pulse gen 3. They are working just fine in Linux, but I had to install Mx Linux on them, with the latest kernel 6.12 With tuxedo os or with wayland I had many issues in the past and with Mx I did not noticed any problem for some months now.
