I have noticed that this issue seems to go mostly away after waking up the system from sleep, and logging back in with sddm.

Yes, I think you’re right. I was mistaken about Calamares, I apologize.

I would like to use openmamba as a server OS, but I need a more minimal install solution due to my current provider’s limitations on ISO size and storage, and lack of graphical acceleration.

I don’t think we understand each other here: are you suggesting that there must be a desktop to use a graphical install? It is possible to graphical install with calamares a system without desktop.

Typically, I rent a VPS, connect with VNC and install a minimal system graphically, then ssh only.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I guess I must wait for the new release of xorg-drv-video-nvidia_470 to use openmamba, that’s a shame.
I accidentally rebooted and the os wouldn’t boot any more, I had to do a fresh install.

I have many questions, I apologize.

Does openmamba have a bug tracker of sorts?
Does openmamba have a community chatroom?

I am experiencing awful performance and I am not sure what is causing it. Everything is extremely slow, so I suspected some driver issue. Some people from another community where I asked for help suspected it could be graphics drivers.
To give you an idea: discord is often taking 140% CPU according to top, the web browser is very laggy, everything looks slow and delayed. The new fresh install also took significantly longer than I would expect a linux distro to take to install.
I was running nouveau fine on AlmaLinux the past year on this same system, to me it seems like nouveau should be ok.
Do you have any suggestion on how to verify whether or not the graphics driver is indeed the source of these performance issues?

I would like to add that my system has both an intel graphics chip and an nvidia card.

glxinfo |grep vendor
server glx vendor string: SGI
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa

glxinfo |grep renderer
    GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer, GLX_MESA_gl_interop, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, 
    GLX_MESA_gl_interop, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, GLX_MESA_swap_control, 
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
OpenGL renderer string: NVF1

It looks like I was suffering for awful performance because everything is being software rendered instead of using any of the available graphics chips.
