Applications take 1-2 minutes to open

System details

Dell Precision 5550 (i7-10850H, Nvidia Quadro T2000 Mobile), Omarchy 3.1.7

What's wrong?

When opening additional installed apps, things like Github Desktop, Cursor they generally seem to take anywhere from 1-2 minutes to open. Noting that default installed apps like Chromium appear to be instant.

I've seen people raise issues for slow launches but they all appear to be with sub 10 seconds.

Happy to provide what ever details are needed to troubleshoot! :)

Are these apps installed with pacman or Flatpak? Flatpaks will often take 30+ seconds to open on my slower computers with spinning hard drives and weaker specs. And that's independent of my Linux distribution so this may not be an Omarchy issue.

They were installed via the "Package" or "AUR" options in the Install menu which I assume is using pacman and Package is just using the Omarchy mirror?

Drive is a 1TB Samsung NVME

I think the Omarchy servers just install default applications during the initial install. After that I'd assume pacman installs or aur installs are no longer using Omarchy servers, but are instead installing non-default Omarchy packages from the aur, or wherever else. But that's just a guess. I'm sorry I'm not able to help more.

Install mesa-utils and run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer" and post the output here. Additionally try running github desktop / cursor from the terminal and see if there is any useful information in the terminal output. If there is an issue with the desktop portal then some applications will try to use it and timeout after a very long time, which results in very slow startup time for the application.

Been experiencing this as well on a DellXPS16. Github-Desktop, Obsidian, and a few select apps take centuries to open, and I forget I had hit the keybind by the time they're available.

This might be related to #2475.

Yeah I had done some initial investigation last week (just didnt get time to comment yet) and it appears its that issue. Electron based apps only and disabling GPU appears to make them load within acceptable time frames (1-2 seconds).
