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.

    As far as I understood its worse, as they dont use OSTree but BTRFS snapshots. So they have an image, do atomic updates from some repository (not sure how thats done) and then build the next image. This process is atomic as a fail will cancel the update.

    But the fetching or things is done via a normal package manager, its just building differently on your machine, again, aa far as I understood.

    Then you have BTRFS snapshots which you reboot into. You can also layer packages, not sure how that is done and if its reversible.
