My laptop with archlinux kde5 is slow and unresposive, to do all task, open chrome or dolphin, etc. and sometimes freezing for 10-30 seconds like if i have a lot cpu usage, i try with different desktops, gnome, kde, etc. and diferrents distros and the same, i think is somethings relating to the kernel... i dont have a bad laptop is corei5
