[02:58] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[06:37] <marcoagpinto> Heya!
[07:32] <ducasse> good morning
[11:30] <StupidDanbo> maybe I should look into different desktop environments.
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> !flavours
[11:31] <TimothyP> What do you want to do with your computer and how old is the hardware
[11:32] <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.
[11:33] <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
[11:34] <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
[11:36] <StupidDanbo> AMD Ryzen 5 1600. 16GB of RAM? GeForce GTX 1060
[11:37] <TimothyP> hah ! you can run anything :D
[11:38] <StupidDanbo> haha yeah. *stuttering randomly when playing WoW in Wine while watching a video on 2nd monitor*
[11:39] <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)
[11:40] <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.
[11:41] <StupidDanbo> nothing that big. just 1920x1200 + 1920x1080
[11:41] <TimothyP> vlc?
[11:41] <StupidDanbo> for video? no, streaming video. either Twitch or YouTube
[11:42] <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
[11:43] <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
[11:44] <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
[11:45] <TimothyP> that one  can show a lot of gpu info
[11:45] <StupidDanbo> oh. so I do.
[11:46] <TimothyP> and in the terminal
[11:46] <TimothyP> nvidia-smi
[11:46] <TimothyP> watch -1 nvidia-smi
[11:47] <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
[11:48] <TimothyP> afk for a while
[11:49] <StupidDanbo> Interesting. ah now I can see more info on one page.
[20:14] <Bashing-om> UWN: Issue 672 is on the streets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue672 :D
[21:45] <oerheks> happy monday, Bashing-om
