I recently moved to endeavour os and I am a linux newbie too and for some unknown reason it is running on super slow frequency like 500Mhz and it isn't actually using my whole cpu power to run things and then causing lag. Can someone please help this is very strange for me.
#Endeavour os running super slow on frequency

I recently moved to endeavour os and I am a linux newbie too and for some unkno...
is this while things are running? because my processor goes down to 800MHz when stuff isn't happening
kindred gyro
what tool are you using to find that clock speed
rigid gazelle
btop
like rn I have discord open and browser too
and see the frequency
I tried using cpupower-gui but it just resets whenever I close it
kindred gyro
quite clearly nothing is happening right now
rigid gazelle
then why is my pc running so slow i can't identify the issue
kindred gyro
if you're experiencing "lag" it's not the CPU
rigid gazelle
if you're experiencing "lag" it's not the CPU
then?
I am indeed experiencing a lot of lag
rigid gazelle
do you have graphics drivers installed?
I have nvidia and I had to move to endeavour from arch because when I tried installing nvidia drivers it broke
rigid gazelle
also btop looks sick
thank you
rigid gazelle
sorry 😅 I can't understand what you mean, I am a linux newbie
rigid gazelle
it isn't there
rigid gazelle
rigid gazelle
spelling it right helps
lol sorry
kindred gyro
mhm
rigid gazelle
it's there in pacman
kindred gyro
yeah i just prefer yay because it's shorter and has the aur, same thing
rigid gazelle
yeah i just prefer yay because it's shorter and has the aur, same thing
oh ok alright
kindred gyro
da heck
rigid gazelle
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
kindred gyro
how did you install endeavouros without the builtin stuff
rigid gazelle
how did you install endeavouros without the builtin stuff
wdym I installed a few packages with the installer but then didn't installed any desktop environment and then later install bspwm and my other things through the tty
kindred gyro
ah
kindred gyro
give me a friggin second
rigid gazelle
ok mam 🫡
kindred gyro
while you're waiting look at my pronouns lmao
did you run eos-packagelist "BSPWM Edition" --install when you installed that wm
rigid gazelle
oh no
kindred gyro
if not, do so now
rigid gazelle
just a simply used sudo pacman -S bspwm sxhkd nitrogen etc
kindred gyro
...
tame bladeBOT
Too few arguments for command note!
Usage: .note <name>
rigid gazelle
what
ngl gnome is much much better than any other distro when it comes to these thigns
kindred gyro
yay -S eos-packagelist
eos-packagelist "Desktop-Base + Common packages" --install
eos-packagelist "BSPWM Edition" --install
nvidia-inst
gnome isn't a distro
it's a wm, like bspwm
you could install that instead if you want
rigid gazelle
Oh
I mean
the gnome wm
is much better than any other wm when it comes to these things
kindred gyro
WindowManager
rigid gazelle
when last time I installed arch linux
and then installed nvidia on it
it broke
after asking around the communities
a guy told me since I have a nvidia gpu and 11th gen intel processor
this will break my system
kindred gyro
well that's wrong
kindred gyro
clearly
kindred gyro
afaik it ships with the noveau driver by default, which is ok but it's not great
kindred gyro
```
yay -S eos-packagelist
eos-packagelist "Desktop-Base + Common packages" --in...
have you done this yet?
rigid gazelle
have you done this yet?
wait sorry i didn't see that lemme do it quickly
you are sure that it won't break my system right?
it took me some time to customize my bspwm
these are the packages
that it's going to install
kindred gyro
it'll un-break it, because all your eos specific things aren't installed
it won't overwrite any configuration, or at least it shouldn't
yes go ahead
I wouldn't tell you to do it if i didn't know what it did
rigid gazelle
I am following your instructions mam 🫡 I hope everything goes well
rigid gazelle
I wouldn't tell you to do it if i didn't know what it did
you are right
So those commands will install the packages that comes with endeavour os preinstalled right?
kindred gyro
yes, as well as anything you might have missed with bspwm
rigid gazelle
oh alright
btw I was on pop os before and trust me everything with it went very very very well but only thing that disturbed me the most about it was the bloat and so I shifted to arch but it broke and then endeavour os
kindred gyro
after you're done, you might also want to yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver for everyday hardware acceleration like for discord
kindred gyro
i started with pop, went to mint, failed to do funtoo right, and then here i am at eos
rigid gazelle
eos?
the person who encouraged me to use linux
that person was using eos
can I ask one thing?
Ik it will be weird but am just curious
How do you know a lot? I mean people around this server really do know a lot, There was someone who helped me out a loottttt with endeavour os customization
how long have you been using linux?
kindred gyro
I've used it for a while and become familiar with the difficulties and tools
rigid gazelle
oh
kindred gyro
when in doubt, the arch wiki still applies to endeavouros
eos is just extra safeguards and ease of use around arch
rigid gazelle
it does? tbh i see a lot of things on arch wiki that I don't understand and then I feel like not doing anything the wiki tells me to
rigid gazelle
eos is just extra safeguards and ease of use around arch
so it's basically arch?
kindred gyro
it does? tbh i see a lot of things on arch wiki that I don't understand and then...
and that's how shit gets broken
if you don't follow instructions completely without knowing why you're doing it, you're doing it wrong
rigid gazelle
and that's how shit gets broken
idk if this is offensive but arch wiki installation sucks
i did everything arch wiki told me to
like everything
and it didn't told me one thing about adding users
that I need to add my user to wheel
kindred gyro
it's certainly not for the faint of heart
eos just does it all for you, so I've never bothered to learn that bit
rigid gazelle
and after the full installation I realize that I can't enter my os
rigid gazelle
it's certainly not for the faint of heart
eos just does it all for you, so I've ...
I wanna check out eos
kindred gyro
eos is endeavouros you goof
kindred gyro
no lol it's just shorter to type
rigid gazelle
but I use lxappearance for customizing my os
kindred gyro
nothing changes as far as i know, it's a different implementation of it
rigid gazelle
oh alright
after this I need to install uh
that command you gave me right?
yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver
kindred gyro
nvidia-inst?
rigid gazelle
oh no that command
kindred gyro
both really
rigid gazelle
yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver
rigid gazelle
what do you mean track? like how?
kindred gyro
yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver nvidia-inst
just add it to the list of things to install
then run it
oh right you already installed nvidia-inst
well even if you did add it to that list, nothing bad will bappen
kindred gyro
cool
kindred gyro
chill my guy
rigid gazelle
yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver
so I should execute this now right ?
kindred gyro
if nvidia-inst is already done, sure
kindred gyro
install the intel stuff first so you don't have to reboot twice
rigid gazelle
yes yes after that
kindred gyro
but yes you will need to restart in order for the drivers to work
rigid gazelle
ok
I will give you the report after that
WAIT WHAT
WAYLAND?????
I am on x term something
kindred gyro
what did i say about chill
rigid gazelle
oh
alright then
btw if I would have done normal endeavour install
i wouldn't had to do these things right?
because trust me even firefox lags a lot
and I have to do my classes every morning
kindred gyro
probably not
you're using the kernel i915 driver on the intel iGPU right now, which is why it's dogshit slow
kindred gyro
the intel driver you're installing now is much better
rigid gazelle
is it true that it is very compatible with nvidia?
like it's very easy to install nvidia on it?
kindred gyro
I've heard of it but I forget what sets it apart
if you're thinking of switching, I would recommend against
rigid gazelle
oh
kindred gyro
you already have what you need here, no need to break things again
kindred gyro
it is easy to install nvidia drivers on eos, you're doing it right now
rigid gazelle
which driver for intel am I installing right now though?
rigid gazelle
oh lol alright
kindred gyro
xf86-video-intel, plus the hardware acceleration libraries
rigid gazelle
oh
alright then
by the way which wm are you using
it's taking pretty long ngl 😅
kindred gyro
i use Cinnamon, a variant of gnome I think
rigid gazelle
I have heard about it
omg my pc is lagging so much
oh
its running dkms install
kindred gyro
leave it while it's working
rigid gazelle
ok
kindred gyro
yeah dkms do be like that for a bit
rigid gazelle
alright
by the way
if you don't mind can you please tell me where are all the these commands for installing nvidia and acceleration libraries are ? 😅 in future if I will need them like by any chance so
kindred gyro
endeavouros website FAQ i believe
kindred gyro
which is what?
rigid gazelle
Plan: Fate
rigid gazelle
which is what?
executing yay -S xf86-video-intel libva-intel-driver intel-media-driver
Plan: Fate == Reboot and hope everything fine
🥲
done
so far
everything is normal
lag isn't there though
so
can we say
that
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
can we say that?
idk a shit if it is installed but these things weren't there
yep
ig it's installed
I guess I should start worshiping you now
🙇
kindred gyro
lag isn't there though
success
kindred gyro
I guess I should start worshiping you now
i would rather you didn't
what does btop say now
kindred gyro
or whatever this was
kindred gyro
yeah that
rigid gazelle
so what happened?
woah the packages are not 1 thousand
wait lemme check something
yep the ram usage is pretty low still
???
everything good?
kindred gyro
so what happened?
what happened is that you're now using drivers that can actually display your screen in reasonable time
so it won't look like crap
kindred gyro
yup
rigid gazelle
you are a goddess thank you or else I would have broken up this os too
kindred gyro
lol
wary marsh
run dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null to stress your cpu with 1 thread and see what your frequency goes up to
rigid gazelle
run `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null` to stress your cpu with 1 thread and see what...
alright
yep it does
I mean the thread's frequency does go up
The lag/freeze is still there
it's like whenever I move from one window to another or when something is opening or when I am typing
