Hi all, I’m having an issue with KiCAD but I’m not sure what’s causing the issue, every time I try to move something in the schematic or PCB editor, or click on the UI, it seems to hang constantly for a few seconds to a few minutes.
I tried running in X11 but same issue happens. I’m running KDE Plasma 6 and video drivers are up to date.
had a similar issue with freeCAD a few months ago, in that case I ended up having to switch to my windows install. (for some reason, these programs use up way more RAM when on linux)
pull up system monitor and watch your RAM. this isn’t a solution, but may tell you if it is the same issue and maybe give you a hint on what to do next.
I have Zram swap on so RAM isn’t an issue for me. Weirdly, it also happens while using Prism Launcher (Minecraft instance manager)
