Uuurgh... why does everything run like crap on #wayland? Or rather #kde on #wayland.
I never had any major performance problems on #xfce and #x11. Here kwin_wayland keeps using at least 20% or often 40% CPU. Chromium even hogs all the CPU time it can get when open.
Firefox only runs well through XWayland.
Who said wayland is stable? #archlinux #ThinkPadX260
(Also.. suggestions are appreciated. I already tried looking up my sympoms online)

During the last 2 years with #NixOS, I've mentioned multiple times that my system performance is very poor on my backup notebook: Lenovo #X260 with a 2y old crucial 2TB SATA SSD BX500 2.5"

After setting it up with Debian 13 on the 2TB SSD as well as on the original 250GB SSD, I have to say that the 2TB SSD seems to be the culprit: the system behaves very weird with sluggish waiting/resume/..., system updates take hours instead of minutes, ...

So it wasn't NixOS, but the 2TB SATA SSD. 😔

However, I'm glad to get rid of NixOS step by step anyway for other reasons, being able to run Python scripts again being the most important to me. (Please don't give me any Nix-python advice anymore, I've spent too many days on that issue without a sustainable fix.)
