So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It’s mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It’s as if I’m running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:
i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max
Amd Rx 6750xt
16gb ram at 3200mhz
Linux is on an m.2
Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.
If this isn’t your first round on linux, Try Debian, set it to use non-free contrib packages and set the appstore to install apps as flatpaks before native.
Avoid using Ubuntu based distros as they run Snap packages which are just a general nightmare for users.
Snaps make sense for servers, but the only reason Ubuntu forces it on users is $$$$.
