I started using Linux Mint 21.2 about a week ago. I'm curious about Linux and I've been watching videos. I was very enthusiastic about it, but when I succeeded, I was a little disappointed. It is not due to visual or similar software problems. With Linux Mint version the computer runs really slow.
Problems:
a) Compared to Windows, audio transfer, loading speed and similar things are slower and problematic.
b) I've tried at least 5 of the games that appear to be Platinum, Gold, and OK on protonDB, and I can get about one-ninth of the performance on Windows.
c) It gets much slower and annoyed compared to Windows when executing multiple processes…
d) Most of the time, I get errors when running the correct terminal commands, usually something is requested and is missing, system errors cannot be found, etc. He says things. I also purchased error messages with content such as traceback.
Solutions I Tried:
e) Of course, since I am computer disabled and I don't know much about these things, I changed distribution upon the advice of a friend... I tried systems such as Ubuntu and the last time I am on Linux Mint, as I wrote in the problems section.
f) I checked that the ISO file I burned to the USB was correct and confirmed it by trying it from a different device. The ISO file was not problematic. I also checked it with software such as HashTool.
g) I installed it for the second time via the same USB and followed Linux Mint's recommendations as much as possible. Afterwards, when I first turned it on, I updated the system from the terminal, updated the packages, etc. I did all the Driver Manager, Installing Updates, Mint Interface etc... But none of the problems disappeared, I still couldn't transmit sound with my microphone while downloading files and all the other problems continued.
h) Even though I tried to deal with what they call BIOS Optimization, my motherboard is not very good and there is nothing correct in the BIOS settings. I am using OptiPlex390. Still, I tried some performance-enhancing options that may be necessary in the boot settings.
i) I asked for help from ChatGPT, I followed the commands exactly, such as some package updates, but this did not work either.
j) I just installed the driver for my Graphics Card, AMD's RX550, and I received a message box from Mint saying "this driver is already up to date".
notes:
I don't believe I have any hardware problems. About ten days ago, while I could easily use Windows 10 and play graphic games with Visual Studio 2022 open in the background, this decrease in performance was disappointing...
I don't understand much about terms and similar things, so I thank you, hoping that you will understand and provide quality communication.
Solutions I haven't tried but you might be curious about:
k) I did not try to boot with a different USB, I do not have a different USB. Please let's not think that this is related to this, because as a result of an injury, I cannot walk or go out for 3 weeks.
L) I didn't do anything related to the kernel, and I didn't trust myself to break something. I don't even know what a kernel is.
m) I never opened the safe and made any physical intervention.
I want help, I had to take a break from my projects... I hope you will understand my haste, and thank you in advance.
Linux looked very nice, which it actually is. People are running it. Can you help me please?
