Anecdotal and likely not very helpful, when I was running a laptop with a 2060, I regularly had freezing issues launching steam, that would freeze the entire desktop on whichever I display I launched it on for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. The same issue occurred across multiple Linux distros running multiple Nvidia proprietary driver versions.
I built a desktop with an AMD GPU to solve the problem and it worked. I really wish I could give you something better than that.
doubt it's the same problem i'm having because the lag spikes only affect blender, the rest of the DE works fine
I guess the takeaway for me is despite making some strides in last couple years nvidia is still just kinda janky on Linux. Good luck getting to the bottom of it.
Admittedly, I don't know much about the ins and outs of GPUs, but perhaps it's a GTX vs. RTX issue. They're different enough that the NVK project is targeting only RTX and up.
