Hey, I've gone ahead and decided to try out TW as my first foray into the Linux world, and I started by getting it set up on my laptop. Everything seems to be working pretty well for me (other than wifi passwords not saving by default, but I seem to have found a workaround that's not too inconvenient).

I later tried to get it set up on my desktop and the experience was very sluggish and I was curious if there would be an obvious reason as to why. I understand that I'm giving few details here, but the sluggishness was not felt at all on my laptop and was felt immediately on my desktop. I have since installed fedora on my desktop and it's been very solid and noticeably not sluggish.

I thought I should perhaps try to understand what potential issues occurred so I can get a better understanding of the system I'm using. Thanks in advance for any input.

Can you give a bit more detail about rhe hardware of the desktop? Memory cpu gpu etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

CPU: AMD 5600X.
RAM: 16GB 3200~~ MT/s ddr4.
GPU: 3070 FE.
MOBO: Some B550 board.

Do you need any other hardware specs? I'm no longer sure if I installed tgw nvidia drivers both times so I suppose that may have been it but I do think its one of the first things I tried to do. Thanks a bunch for replying!
