When i reboot it takes upto 5-10 minutes for my desktop and taskbar to even show up let alone work. Dolphin also takes several minutes to even open with the Super+E shortcut. this is really annoying as it makes me wait around 10-20 minutes to even be able to use my system fully

@delicate zealot what de/wm are you on?

delicate zealot When i reboot it takes upto 5-10 minutes for my desktop and taskbar to even show...

what wm are you using and what device are you using

#

my very first thought was either a storage or memory issue

delicate zealot Mar 30, 2025, 3:00 AM

#

oak dock <@448677742158938122> what de/wm are you on?

KDE plasma

delicate zealot Mar 30, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

blazing haven what wm are you using and what device are you using

KDE plasma. pc desktop

delicate zealot Mar 30, 2025, 3:01 AM

#

blazing haven my very first thought was either a storage or memory issue

im using a 1tb samsung 970 evo pro nvme, and 32gb of ram

#

i also had recently moved my arch install from my old ssd to my current nvme

#

but this issue has been a thing on my old ssd but seems to be worse now

#

i rebooted and after about 10-15 minutes everything seemed to just happen all at once (when i pressed super and then this notif came up too

#

is there way to reinstall my de/wm?

#

would that help?

#

or is there a corrupted file scan like windows sfc /scannow?

#

and currently dolphin doesnt open

delicate zealot Mar 30, 2025, 3:49 AM

#

Nvm im reinstalling
