jcbjoe2021Hi, sons windows computer takes about 6 mins to boot up then 10 mins to get to the desktop he doesn’t want to use it anymore I told him about Linux he said he will try it. Installed Ubuntu the kde which installed kubuntu. Kubuntu seems kinda slow to me. Should I go back to gnome and use gnome and install gnome tweaks to get everything kinda situated?18:45
sarnoldwhat's the specs of the machine? it could be that a fast OS is just not in the cards for this computer18:46
leftyfbjcbjoe2021: did you try making sure you have the proper video drivers installed?18:47

jcbjoe2021leftyfb: I just used the default whatever Ubuntu gave me. Is that wrong?18:53
leftyfbjcbjoe2021: open software and updates and go to drivers18:54
jcbjoe2021Ok leftyfb when I get home18:54
leftyfbjcbjoe2021: ok, please only ask for help when you have access to the machine for troubleshooting18:55
