Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    Specify your cpu too. Mine is also 8gb ram and its smooth as fuck and uses like 2~3 gb max

    i tried it in Virtualbox, vt-d and extension pack enabled, as well as 3d accelration and hardware accelratiom, pae/nx. 4 logical cores of i5-9300h

    The same CPU on bare metal would give you decent performance on KDE. Virtualbox and a win11 host like you mentioned, are causing the issues here.

    Virtualbox is going to be slow since it is a type II hypervisor. Is Hyper-V/WSL enabled? If it is you need special settings or else it will run slow.

    Well i didn't do it in a vm tho. Try on bare metal or in a live usb/ventoy. I daily drive it on 8gb ram with ryzen 5600H and is super smooth. There might be something on vm that hinders performance

    propably vt-d and windows 11 as host are the problems. To install Linux, i need to take apart my laptop and install a sata ssd

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

    Or just don't install it but only raw run it under live usb? You can skip the installer and play with it

    I don't think tv-d works with Virtual box out of the box. It just makes it very slow when enabled.

    You should check out WSL. Might be a bit faster than vm

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

    i tried wsl but didn't work, no matter what i tried

    WSL is a VM (Hyper-V)
