From personal experience, I can tell you that having all those window managers coexisting in the same system generally always causes issues. Right now, I’m using BSPWM with EndeavourOS and KDE, with a clean installation of the Ghostzk script, and everything is working great!

Good luckk

Its hard to say, could be a lot of things, yes having a lot of DEs and Wms could affect but lets start with the beginning.. The problem starts after an update? What login manager u use?? Using lightdm is useful because he creates a .xsession-errors.log file, will be nice if you share logs, to try to find out what is happening.

First edit the bspwmrc file, and comment the line that starts picom, start bspwm and see if your problem is fixed, if its fixed, picom just been updated so you need to play with your options, change backend glx to xrender, enable or disable vsync. You need to test.

Some time ago, there was a problem with the xdg-portal-* packages, that made apps opens with too much lag, and since you have a lot of des and wms, well maybe its thay way, but is the most unsure option.

Try to post logs pls, when you open apps on bspwm.

I'm currently using GDM,i will test everything out later,by the way,i look at the dmesg and journalctl and discovered nothing when opening apps on bspwm,i will try lightdm
