Hi everyone,
I’m running NixOS Unstable with KDE Plasma 6 and an Intel Arc A770M GPU. I’ve been noticing that my desktop environment isn’t as smooth as it is on my Arch and Debian installs with the same hardware. Specifically, I experience faintly noticeable tearing or hiccups when moving or resizing windows quickly, which feels similar to what you might see on Windows OS when a GPU driver isn’t properly installed.
I’ve confirmed that the Intel driver module is loaded, so I’m unsure what else might be causing this issue. On Arch and Debian, I didn’t need to install anything extra to get smooth performance, so I’m wondering if there’s something specific to NixOS that I’m missing.
Are there any particular settings or configurations I should check to improve the smoothness of my desktop experience on NixOS? Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
