[02:58] good morning [06:37] Heya! [07:32] good morning [11:30] maybe I should look into different desktop environments. [11:30] !flavours [11:30] 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 [11:31] What do you want to do with your computer and how old is the hardware [11:32] I do a mix of stuff. but mostly I game in Wine, watch streaming video, and browse the internet collecting pictures. [11:32] I dunno how old my hardware is. [11:33] Then you're probably good with Xubuntu, light on the hardware and suitable for everything you do [11:33] I think only a few years. when did I replace most of it... [11:33] inxi -F StupidDanbo [11:34] lotusspy what voodoo magic are you invoking ? [11:34] hardware lookup [11:34] wow [11:34] WAT. why did inxi -F say I have a laptop? [11:34] ah [11:34] ok I thought it was a command for irc here [11:34] lol [11:36] AMD Ryzen 5 1600. 16GB of RAM? GeForce GTX 1060 [11:37] hah ! you can run anything :D [11:38] haha yeah. *stuttering randomly when playing WoW in Wine while watching a video on 2nd monitor* [11:39] if you have enough desktop space you can simply apt install ubuntu-desktop plasma-desktop etc... and try multiple desktop environments [11:39] I wonder if it's because one monitor is plugged in using the older cable with the rows of pins. [11:39] I usually stick with Steam for games (handles wine etc... in the background) [11:40] 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] I'm using DVI on one monitor and uh.... DisplayPort? on the other. [11:41] nothing that big. just 1920x1200 + 1920x1080 [11:41] vlc? [11:41] for video? no, streaming video. either Twitch or YouTube [11:42] ah [11:42] maybe the browser and wow are both fighting for your gpu [11:42] Yeah. What's strange is that WoW reports over 60fps while I'm clearly NOT having 60fps [11:42] perhaps average? [11:42] nope [11:42] altough that would go up and down [11:43] not when it stutters for a bunch of seconds [11:43] ow that's a lot [11:43] yeah it seems to go away after a while, and it's not often but... annoying enough. [11:43] when it does you should check memory usage, cpu usage and gpu usage [11:43] maybe that can tell you where the bottleneck is [11:44] 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] you should have the NVDIA X Server Settings app [11:45] that one can show a lot of gpu info [11:45] oh. so I do. [11:46] and in the terminal [11:46] nvidia-smi [11:46] watch -1 nvidia-smi [11:47] that will show you which process is using it and how much [11:47] invalid option [11:47] sorry [11:47] watch -n 1 nvidia-smi [11:48] afk for a while [11:49] Interesting. ah now I can see more info on one page. === yn_ is now known as yn [20:14] UWN: Issue 672 is on the streets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue672 :D [21:45] happy monday, Bashing-om
