| marcoagpinto | Heya! | 06:37 |
| ducasse | good morning | 07:32 |
| StupidDanbo | maybe I should look into different desktop environments. | 11:30 |
| lotuspsychje | !flavours | 11:30 |
| ubot5 | Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours | 11:30 |
| TimothyP | What do you want to do with your computer and how old is the hardware | 11:31 |
| StupidDanbo | I do a mix of stuff. but mostly I game in Wine, watch streaming video, and browse the internet collecting pictures. | 11:32 |
| StupidDanbo | I dunno how old my hardware is. | 11:32 |
| TimothyP | Then you're probably good with Xubuntu, light on the hardware and suitable for everything you do | 11:33 |
| StupidDanbo | I think only a few years. when did I replace most of it... | 11:33 |
| lotuspsychje | inxi -F StupidDanbo | 11:33 |
| TimothyP | lotusspy what voodoo magic are you invoking ? | 11:34 |
| lotuspsychje | hardware lookup | 11:34 |
| TimothyP | wow | 11:34 |
| StupidDanbo | WAT. why did inxi -F say I have a laptop? | 11:34 |
| TimothyP | ah | 11:34 |
| TimothyP | ok I thought it was a command for irc here | 11:34 |
| TimothyP | lol | 11:34 |
| StupidDanbo | AMD Ryzen 5 1600. 16GB of RAM? GeForce GTX 1060 | 11:36 |
| TimothyP | hah ! you can run anything :D | 11:37 |
| StupidDanbo | haha yeah. *stuttering randomly when playing WoW in Wine while watching a video on 2nd monitor* | 11:38 |
| TimothyP | if you have enough desktop space you can simply apt install ubuntu-desktop plasma-desktop etc... and try multiple desktop environments | 11:39 |
| StupidDanbo | I wonder if it's because one monitor is plugged in using the older cable with the rows of pins. | 11:39 |
| TimothyP | I usually stick with Steam for games (handles wine etc... in the background) | 11:39 |
| TimothyP | 1k, 2k or 4k your screens? the 1060 can be a bit slugish with 2 4k screens and 3d + video ( have the same card) | 11:40 |
| StupidDanbo | I'm using DVI on one monitor and uh.... DisplayPort? on the other. | 11:40 |
| StupidDanbo | nothing that big. just 1920x1200 + 1920x1080 | 11:41 |
| TimothyP | vlc? | 11:41 |
| StupidDanbo | for video? no, streaming video. either Twitch or YouTube | 11:41 |
| TimothyP | ah | 11:42 |
| TimothyP | maybe the browser and wow are both fighting for your gpu | 11:42 |
| StupidDanbo | Yeah. What's strange is that WoW reports over 60fps while I'm clearly NOT having 60fps | 11:42 |
| TimothyP | perhaps average? | 11:42 |
| StupidDanbo | nope | 11:42 |
| TimothyP | altough that would go up and down | 11:42 |
| StupidDanbo | not when it stutters for a bunch of seconds | 11:43 |
| TimothyP | ow that's a lot | 11:43 |
| StupidDanbo | yeah it seems to go away after a while, and it's not often but... annoying enough. | 11:43 |
| TimothyP | when it does you should check memory usage, cpu usage and gpu usage | 11:43 |
| TimothyP | maybe that can tell you where the bottleneck is | 11:43 |
| StupidDanbo | I think I've opened task manager before and not noticed anything. but I don't know how to check my GPU usage | 11:44 |
| TimothyP | you should have the NVDIA X Server Settings app | 11:44 |
| TimothyP | that one can show a lot of gpu info | 11:45 |
| StupidDanbo | oh. so I do. | 11:45 |
| TimothyP | and in the terminal | 11:46 |
| TimothyP | nvidia-smi | 11:46 |
| TimothyP | watch -1 nvidia-smi | 11:46 |
| TimothyP | that will show you which process is using it and how much | 11:47 |
| StupidDanbo | invalid option | 11:47 |
| TimothyP | sorry | 11:47 |
| TimothyP | watch -n 1 nvidia-smi | 11:47 |
| TimothyP | afk for a while | 11:48 |
| StupidDanbo | Interesting. ah now I can see more info on one page. | 11:49 |
