Severe lags and freezes due to changing keyboard layout

[DoubleWopper]

I recently began to notice that with this hyprland config there is a small bug that destroys all its advantages, the fact is that when changing the layout on the keyboard (in my case to Russian), a notification appears that it has changed, and you probably think so and what's the problem, just turn on the "do not distrub" mode, I did so, but the fact is that when more than 70 notifications accumulate there, the entire PC begins to function more slowly, micro lags appear, micro freezes and sometimes the layout can change within 3-7 seconds, yes, just to switch the layout I press alt + shift and wait a couple of seconds on top, I realized that this is a problem exclusively in the config and not in the PC because I conducted a test where I left the PC on for 2 days without reboots but did not change the layout and left everything as is, the performance did not decrease in any way and everything was fine, after that I restarted the PC and changed the layout within 15 minutes in and my PC has started to slow down significantly. The "clear notifications" button doesn't seem to be helping solve the problem, so I'm asking for advice on how to completely remove these notifications about changing the keyboard.

Hello,
First, Jak has stepped back from the project, it has moved to https://github.com/LinuxBeginnings The Distro-Hyprland like Arch-Hyprland do not have the dotfiles. The Hyprland-Dots repo is where that is maintained

The .config/hypr/scripts/ChangeLayout.sh is where that change and notifications are sent

case $LAYOUT in
"master")
 hyprctl keyword general:layout dwindle
 hyprctl keyword unbind SUPER,J
 hyprctl keyword unbind SUPER,K
 hyprctl keyword bind SUPER,J,cyclenext
 hyprctl keyword bind SUPER,K,cyclenext,prev
 hyprctl keyword bind SUPER,O,togglesplit
 notify-send -e -u low -i "$notif" " Dwindle Layout"
 ;;
"dwindle")
 hyprctl keyword general:layout master
 hyprctl keyword unbind SUPER,J
 hyprctl keyword unbind SUPER,K
 hyprctl keyword unbind SUPER,O
 hyprctl keyword bind SUPER,J,layoutmsg,cyclenext
 hyprctl keyword bind SUPER,K,layoutmsg,cycleprev
 notify-send -e -u low -i "$notif" " Master Layout"
 ;;
*) ;;

Comment out the lines

#notify-send -e -u low -i "$notif" " Master Layout"
#notify-send -e -u low -i "$notif" " Dwindle Layout"

And that will disable the notification.
However, I don't think that is your issue, since notify-send is used for every alert. So any alerts you are getting should cause our issues.

To change the KB layout we use a Hyprland feature. Which is that is the only way to get this to occur, that is likely where the real issue is.

Thanks for such a detailed answer, but your method didn't help me at all. Can you just tell me how to completely remove notifications?

If you comment out the two lines I mentioned then notifications will be disabled.
