Your arch system (with xfce, kde or lxqt) suddenly takes 20 sec to open firefox etc? - eviltoast

This is a bug I just experienced on one of my manjaro computers. I was puzzled as fuck because cpu/io usage wasn’t high but it was pretty slow.

Maybe this will help someone.

    Haha, knew it was related to portals. Apps taking 20-30s to open while the system is not under stress is almost always a portals misconfiguration.

    Thanks!
    I have this bug with Firefox and Thunderbird on my laptop, but not the workstation. Already re-installed and was equally puzzled as I didn’t saw any load either

    Wow, I’ve had this for maybe a year now and was just living with it. Figured it was an audio thing, but Firefox only. Hopefully this fixes it.

    Edit: yep, fixed! 😮‍💨

    I had this kind of problem recently. It was something around flatpack. I removed everything related to flatpack and it solved the problem.
