Hey so i've read the previous [SOLVED] threads from people with the same problem and they didn't help me because they say the problem is the nVidia updated but i don't have nVidia, i have AD Radion.
The problem is i'm working with gedit and right from the start i get lots of lag, slow typing response, it just stoppes moving for up to 5 seconds at a time and i'm just going crazy here!! i've tried disabling all plugins, uninstalling it and reinstalling it without the plugins, etc and nothing has worked so far! this is the one text editor i like working with and i've tried others but i just can't get used to them. please help!

Re: Gedit excruciatingly slow and laggy
If you start it from a terminal, are there any error messages returned?
Is your system short of memory or drive space?
Also, use vim

Re: Gedit excruciatingly slow and laggy
in the terminal the response i get is this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/dashboard/__init__.py", line 54, in _add_tab
[0].get_children()[0].get_children()[1].hide()
AttributeError: 'Image' object has no attribute 'get_children'
vim doesn't work for me because my files are stored in a remote server and i don't have the patience to copy them to the desktop every time i want to edit them. Gedit is the only one so far that can access those files without having to configure it

Re: Gedit excruciatingly slow and laggy
With AMD graphics, my first thought is to check to see if firmware-linux-nonfree is installed.

Or is the problem only occurring in gedit?

Much opinionated.
Some abrasive.
No systemd.
Wow.

Re: Gedit excruciatingly slow and laggy
OP never replied. My money is on the non-free firmware, as that's asked about constantly.
