like how tf am I supposed to know. No, he doesn’t even show me the computer on so I can check task manager or anything. Forgot the charger in another state. He just wants to know why his, currently dead, computer runs slow.
It could literally be anything causing this. Too much stuff running in the background, maybe one task is super intense, overheating, storage is full, idfk. I hate being known as the tech person.


The “fix broken install” thing is a joke right? There’s no way that’s an actual command.
I’m trying to do the apt-get upgrade thingy because I wanna stall some specific GCC eventually to program microcontrollers (I’m a low level nerd, C for microcontrollers, that’s why my head explodes with such big commands doing 17366272 lines of code)
–fix-broken is a real flag. You can also use -f
You could probably get that stuff installed through the snap store. I’m constantly surprised by how many things have a snap, flatpak, or .deb that works perfectly.
How to make Linux work: “fix broken”. Truly peak command. Thank you, I’ll try that later!
Surely I can’t, it’s a weird git, check it out if you want it’s called “ch32fun” by “cnlohr”
I’m not entirely sure, but could this snap be helpful?
That might be terminal only, yeah.
Update: ended up killing Ubuntu altogether and installing Linux Mint. Seems to work flawlessly so far, thank you for your support <3
Mint is really good!
Lately, I’ve been recommending Bazzite as well, it’s really convenient to just be completely hands off and just be able to use the computer as a tool
I heard of bazzite, isn’t it for gaming or something?
Bazzite is intended to be a completely turnkey Linux solution for running applications and games. It’s lower maintenance than any even remotely recent version of Windows.
Install OS, install steam, click play, done. But it should also be just as turnkey when running LibreOffice, DaVinci Resolve, GIMP, or REAPER.
Sounds pretty cool, again, thanks for all the suggestions!!
Yeah, looks cool, I’ll look into it <3 thanks so much!
