Mouse pad not working and sloww

[meager cape]

My nousepad was working fine i was normally browsing but when i add a tab my cursor vanished suddenly and then when i clicked right click it came but it was freezed the kry was working fine it has happened twice i have to reboot again and again
and its too slow slowwwwww

[rotund quarry]

Can you please provide more information about your issue?

Alternatively, you can adjust the acceleration of the cursor in the settings, if that seems to be your problem.

I unfortunately have been unable to reproduce the same instance as yours, thus my confusion.

[meager cape]

what to provide

no i increased acceleration but its stucked/freezed the speed is ok

i have 4gb ram still its veryyy slowwww

[rotund quarry]

Oh, so the cursor frequently stops or freezes?

[rotund quarry]

How much swap size did you allot?

[meager cape]

like i am downloading a torrent game around 13gb in transmission it should not be the reason i think so

[meager cape]

idk

[rotund quarry]

There might be a lot of apps that are running at the same time.

[meager cape]

it like freezes i drag in the touchpad but its freezed

[meager cape]

no only browser and transmission

and terminal

like its very slow

[rotund quarry]

How many tabs on that browser, and what browser is it?

[meager cape]

3 tabs and inbuilt firefox browser

[rotund quarry]

You can check on System Monitor >> Resources >> Memory and Swap

[meager cape]

its slower than windows lol i switched to linux bcz windows was slow but linux is also slow

[rotund quarry]

Seems like a hardware issue to me.

[meager cape]

no bro

i have tried fedora it never lagged

[rotund quarry]

Did you perform any system updates or modifications?

[meager cape]

no

not yet

[rotund quarry]

Is it the touchpad only or the entire device that's frozen?

[meager cape]

i think so means the laptop keyboard is working fine when pressing alt+tab the tabs are changing

ok so swap is 1gb of 2.1gb and memory is 2.4gb of 3.9gb

[rotund quarry]

Might be your touchpad then

[meager cape]

noo bro

i today only update to mint in windows it didnt

in fedora it didnt why blaming on hardware its mint issue

[rotund quarry]

I mean, looking from this, I don't understand why would it be slow. There's not a lot of processes running.

[rotund quarry]

What I'm saying is that your touchpad may have had an issue just recently.

[meager cape]

noo

its working fine rn talking from laptop only

suddenly it stops sometimes and it has happened thrice

[rotund quarry]

Check on your System Reports. Maybe something is in there.

[meager cape]

where

lol it takes minutes to open any program

[rotund quarry]

Search in your Mint Menu.

[meager cape]

not opened yet

[rotund quarry]

Are you using Mint Cinnamon by any case?

[meager cape]

yes

cinnamon why

[rotund quarry]

What desktop environment did you use on Fedora?

[meager cape]

no problems were detected

[rotund quarry]

And when was that?

[meager cape]

i dont remember i installed fedora a month or two months ago

[rotund quarry]

Do you happen to restrict the amount of memory that Cinnamon desktop uses?

[meager cape]

what

[rotund quarry]

It seems not.

[meager cape]

??

and now please dont tell me to change the os

or download any other mint

[rotund quarry]

I mean, I didn't.

[rotund quarry]

It could be for all that we know. Is it done now?

[meager cape]

i dont think so

bro @rotund quarry bcz i have done that in fedora in windows also but never lagged this muchh

[rotund quarry]

Have you ever experienced this 'slowdown' before in Mint?

[meager cape]

i choose mint bcz my friend said that mint is good for gaming

[rotund quarry]

Lag is subjective, so I can't really say.

[rotund quarry]

How naive of you 😭

[meager cape]

i just installed mint and now the torrent file is also downloaded

[rotund quarry]

How old are you even to believe in such nonsense?

[meager cape]

no means he said

bcz its lighter

basically i want to play mainly games

so i need a os which is light and should run smooth

[rotund quarry]

Your system should be sailing smooth now for all that I know. The memory and swap doesn't seem to indicate that things are off to something bad.

[meager cape]

not now also sloww

[rotund quarry]

I've used Mint on and off for some time now, never dealt with such things.

[meager cape]

and if downloading file is making slower so playing games will blast my laptop

[meager cape]

.

[meager cape]

.

applications are taking minutes to launch

[rotund quarry]

I mean bro, look. You only have 4GB of RAM, don't expect too much out of it.

Truth be told, I'm running out of ideas.

[meager cape]

uhh

mint will not work i think

bro in 4gb we can run windows 10 with some lagg but mint is much laggg

any other os u recommend

i just want gaming

[rotund quarry]

Linux Mint Xfce

[meager cape]

will it wipe my data

[rotund quarry]

Of course yes.

Back it up of course.

[meager cape]

uhhhhhh

cant we do some tweaks in this

i will go to ubuntu or fedora

[rotund quarry]

Not much that I know of.

[rotund quarry]

Go wherever you want, as long as it works.
