kde is bloated. lagging with 8gb ram
Feel free to download this badass ram
yOu WouLdNT doWnLoAd A cAR
I am now running Linux on that truck, it is even slower now please help
KDE can work fine in 4GB. GPU and CPU matter much more. What is your GPU?
it's an old and weak nvidia gtx 1650 max-q
You ran it in virtualbox which was the problem.
Specify your cpu too. Mine is also 8gb ram and its smooth as fuck and uses like 2~3 gb max
i tried it in Virtualbox, vt-d and extension pack enabled, as well as 3d accelration and hardware accelratiom, pae/nx. 4 logical cores of i5-9300h
Well i didn't do it in a vm tho. Try on bare metal or in a live usb/ventoy. I daily drive it on 8gb ram with ryzen 5600H and is super smooth. There might be something on vm that hinders performance
propably vt-d and windows 11 as host are the problems. To install Linux, i need to take apart my laptop and install a sata ssd
Or just don't install it but only raw run it under live usb? You can skip the installer and play with it
I don't think tv-d works with Virtual box out of the box. It just makes it very slow when enabled.
You should check out WSL. Might be a bit faster than vm
i tried wsl but didn't work, no matter what i tried
WSL is a VM (Hyper-V)
The same CPU on bare metal would give you decent performance on KDE. Virtualbox and a win11 host like you mentioned, are causing the issues here.
Virtualbox is going to be slow since it is a type II hypervisor. Is Hyper-V/WSL enabled? If it is you need special settings or else it will run slow.
What dinosaurs of a computer are you using?
