Manjaro

I have one of the early PBPs.  I just flashed Manjaro, and I noticed all the GUI effects seem REALLY slow.  I'm new to Manjaro.  Is there an easy way to see what the CPU settings are (Debian had CPU/power save settings on panel, Manjaro doesn't.)  

Also, WiFi is much better.  The install seems to freeze unless you hit "Esc", but someone already mentioned that on here somewhere.

I think right now Manjaro defaults to Xrender backend for compositor, change it to OpenGL and reboot to redraw the UI, that should do it.

Wow!  That totally fixed it.  It's fast now.  Why isn't that he default on PBP Manjaro builds?

Oh, this is nice! Manjaro feels a lot better now! Good stuff!

Is there also a way to get rid of the low volume high pitched whining noise I hear when no audio is playing?

May I ask how to do that ? Thanks

System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor -> Rendering backend Change it to OpenGL and Scale Method to Accurate
