I like that it takes automatic backups of my important stuff with btrfs because I'm too lazy to do it myself. I think that's the main reason it runs heavier. Probably better to do it your way if you know what you're doing.

No, it has nothing to do with BTRFS.
BTRFS is barely slower than EXT4; you wouldn't even notice the difference.
I use BTRFS on Arch with a plain KDE plasma desktop and it has no such slowdown experienced with the Garuda equivalent.
I believe it's because they enable a bunch of resource heavy effects, such as wobbly windows and have a few extra background processes; things not enabled or included in a plain Arch install by default.

Thanks for the info.
