you're not even using the nvidia gpu
tender crown
Yes, my problem is with Intel GPU. I dont want to use Nvidia on normal use. PC gets so hot and laod with NVIDIA
hoary ermine
no no, like, you're not using the GPU in general. That's a waste of silicon
is it intended?
tender crown
But it shows that I'm usig intel here
hoary ermine
Do you not plan to use the Nvidia GPU at all?
hoary ermine
its like 10 fps on intel gpu
Also, i need a better explanation
tender crown
PC is so slow even when I type right now it takes long time to type.
When I installed Mint it was working fine on intel gpu but suddenly it went black and had to hold the power button to restart it
Is it because mint is more for old devices?
hoary ermine
You have a recent kernel that fully supports your hardware, no.
Log out, click on the mountain icon, select "Cinnamon on Wayland" and log back in

Crashed, had to hold botton again
Still same, its like running win 11 on a 2g VM xd
hoary ermine
