Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.

Re: NVidia Drivers - lag on menu, panels, workspace switching

Post by KokoC »

Finally I was able to find what was causing the problem.

Extensions

I was using transparent panels: https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/e ... ns/view/81

Which cause high CPU and memory usage from cinnomon.
Now things are smooth and back to normal with the latest nvidia driver.
