I’m not sure if this is normal, but it seems that Plasma 6 (Wayland) feels overall slow on my laptop with Intel i5-6200U.

I only got this laptop recently from a friend so I have yet to test on X11 session. The only other time I’ve spent using Plasma was on a RTX 3060 Ti in a VM so it didn’t feel as slow.
Is that normal?
Created bug report 477959.
I’m running Plasma 5 on my i5 5200U on iGPU on X11 and it’s pretty much stable and solid (it’s not riced a lot though), isn’t Plasma 6 still pre-release?
I discovered that the fan just died.
Sorry for this. I didn’t check that old laptop till yesterday to check for other issues unrelated to Plasma, which was when I discovered that the fan died.
It’s a spare laptop a friend gave to me recently.
It is. I was merely curious if it’s normal at this point in time.
Try creating a new user profile as another commenter said it might be plasma 5 configs messing with Plasma 6.
This would be another bug though
