So, finally decided to make a decent attempt at the switch, someone recommended Antergos in here for me the other day. It's been smooth sailing, the application installer is a godsent and the installer was a bliss.
Fucked up my dual boot somehow, I'll have to fix that later *sigh*
I noticed it immediately after installing, have tried many different tweaks and fixes but I can't seem to solve it. Every 3-4 seconds or so the video/audio cuts in and out, like a stutter for a microsecond and I have no idea what to do.
I installed Gnome as me DE if that helps and I have a GTX 970 as my GPU, all system resources are nowhere the max threshold.
Shit on me for asking for help, go ahead.

if this doesn't workinstall gentoo
or try a different non-shitty DE
>>57186503
Thanks for the help, should I restart after running that?
If you had to recommend a DE what would choose? I wanted gnome for the minimal look and easy themeability.
>>57186537
yes, you need to restart after installing the proprietary nvidia kernel modules...
see

for a pacman hook that notifies you after installing stuff that requires a restart (of applications, services or your machine)
install cinnamon... it's comfy AF
>>57186621
Yeah, nvidia stuff didn't fix anything. Attempting cinnamon install now. If this doesn't work I'm done. :c
>>57186702
if you are a wangblows user cinnamon DE is good for babby like you
>>57186713
Thanks :P
Still getting sutters, could it be something else causing it, maybe my computer itself? Is there anything I should be monitoring?
>>57186742
It could be your computer, but you should consult the arch wiki first... maybe ask for help in their forums, 4chin is not really the right place for this
I hate reddit
>>57186702
You should install KDE, it is much better, especially if you're coming from Windows.
>>57187430
KDE is still bugged to fuck... they've had years to sort it out but their design and bug-hunting is poor.
>>57186377
Gnome defaults to Wayland ever since 3.22, use gnome on xorg in the login menu. Nvidia doesn't support Wayland yet.
>>57187461
Not buggy for me, it works great and much better than any other I have tried in the past 10 years.

Don't use cinnamon, it's trash. Budgie DE is what cinnamon tries to be.
>>57187461
Works fine for me, except kactivemanager segfaults sometimes.

THEN reboot.
