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.

You should try out bazzite on your main computer it's the most handsfree experience imo. I used to use windows like 5 years ago despite dabbling in Linux for decades, now I daily drive it. It's caught up a lot there's nothing that doesn't work now imo. Bazzites whole design philosophy is you shouldn't have to fuck with anything as an end user, their goal is to be as easy to use as android. Imo the Linux Mint advice is dated, and fun fact a lot of the devs working on bazzite and its subsystems are queer.
