Description

@malucard

Please confirm the following.

  • I checked the existing issues for duplicate problems
  • I have tried resolving the issue using the support portal
  • I have ensured my Modrinth App installation is up to date

What version of the Modrinth App are you using?

0.9.0

What operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Describe the bug

I use an Nvidia GPU and Arch Linux. The app just updated to 0.9.0, but immediately I noticed that it's unusably slow. When interacting with it, like moving the cursor from one button to another, it freezes for about a second, although animations look smooth afterwards (if I stop moving). I see no errors or logs anywhere.
The GPU is relevant because, as with previous versions and even other apps, the app crashes on startup if run normally, so it needs the workaround of setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 (or WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1), but that workaround worked decently in previous versions, so something changed now.
The Modrinth app seems to account for software rendering by providing the "advanced rendering" toggle, but even though turning it off is supposed to help with this, it doesn't improve the situation.
