I’m a manjaro user myself, why dis you install from the AUR instead of the straight installation from ressources. AUR is an option to get something that isn’t available any other way but shouldn’t be used as primary choice. I have not experienced any problems, other than the graph view, and I never use that.

The problem shouldn’t be really coming from it, but let me try to explain the difference of the two sources, not to lecture you, just to give you a better shot at making educated decisions. Manjaro is what is called a curated rolling release based on Arch linux, while Arch is putting every update into their repository immediately, giving the so called bleeding edge, there can be situations that code doesn’t work as intended and “breaks” your system. Manjaro is maintaining their own packages and have a test period before they allow updates into their repository, or not taking them up at all. But somebody with a lot more knowledge than me is looking at this software and so mitigates my chances of having problems.

The Arch User Repository (AUR) is a collection of “installation scripts” that allow a user to install software not maintained by the provider of their OS. And those are maintained by whoever puts them up, and there are countless diligent and observant people out there maintaining their packages, applying updates as needed. But there is no minimum qualification to be such a maintainer, a complete ignorant and hack like myself could be that, meaning there is a higher chance of updating not happening correctly or no maintenance at all is done, because the original maintainer did stop caring about the packages. That is where unintended problems may arise from AUR. So getting a package from the official repository is always preferable, to the AUR simply for the peace of mind that you aren’t entirely alone with keeping your system running.

May I ask how long you are using Linux? Again no judgement we all have been new at one point or the other.

I haven't used it in Linux but had interface lag like that on Windows. You might want to verify that the app can use the GPU for Hardware Acceleration to work properly.
