    No, it has nothing to do with BTRFS.
    BTRFS is barely slower than EXT4; you wouldn't even notice the difference.
    I use BTRFS on Arch with a plain KDE plasma desktop and it has no such slowdown experienced with the Garuda equivalent.
    I believe it's because they enable a bunch of resource heavy effects, such as wobbly windows and have a few extra background processes; things not enabled or included in a plain Arch install by default.
