Anyone know? I tried Ubuntu + KDE, KDE fell apart and was glitchy as all fuck, I installed the Nvidia drivers for my 1050 ti but X had a problem where it would use all my CPU usage when moving windows around, etc.

I never have had problems with KDE.

>>61836816
I don't know if I'm just retarded, but I've been using linux for around a year now and I always run into some bullshit problems. I'm pretty much ready to just give up on it at this point.

Maybe it's not the OS but the hardware?

>>61836850
I built my own PC, just a simple build. i3-6100 + GTX 1050 ti.
I was using a R7 370 for the longest time, and the AMD card worked great for general browsing/whatever, but the drivers were cancer for gaming.

you aren't even using the meme right.
I can literally show you top percentages that state what I said.

Xubuntu is the only answer.

apt-get install compton

Ok thanks for an actual response. I'll try it out later.

KDE Neon is better.

>>61837159
Xubuntu is not modern, it's for getting things done. If I would go for more modern, would probably go for Linux Mint with Cinnamon.
>>
>>61837177
No it's not. It crashes all the time. Fuck off.
>>
>>61837217
Mint + Cinnamon still has the issue where X uses all of my CPU.

I you feel like doing free QA

This means that probably something is wrong with the drivers and X falls back to software rendering instead of utilizing GPU acceleration.
In the terminal:
$ glxinfo|egrep "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"
Will tell whether the GPU is active.
When GPU is active you should get something like this:
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 555M/PCIe/SSE2
Also, check if X had errors:
# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW

Yeah I read about it.
It said make sure DRI is on or something. And it was, and yeah it appears that the graphics driver is active because gaming is mostly fine on it.

>>61837325
Maybe this bug?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1548051
It is already fixed in newer versions, but idk what version of KDE Ubuntu uses
>>
>>61837387
Nah. It was on every linux distro + DE I tried.
For ex, Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.
and on every DE as well, so: Cinnamon, XFCE, etc.
The only thing that didn't have the bug I believe was KDE, but it was too glitchy and I didn't really like it overall.
