[nishant]

What is bogomips? can I increase it, I'm using a personal computer. I don't have laptop.

I made my computer strong. It has i5 processor, 16gb ram and 240gb ssd.

Which CPU do you suggest to go for?

[TilliDie]

@nishant

H81M-S

With that board the highest chip would be a i7 4790k if you wish to use garuda kde or disable effects

@nishant

Which CPU do you suggest to go for?

AMD Ryzen™ 9 5950X

[nishant]

I'm ready to disable effects. I can't afford those CPUs even in my sweetest dream. How do I disable effects?
At least they should have mentioned the minimum CPU requirement in their download section or they could have simply mentioned dragonized KDE - NOT FOR POOR people

As this is only a two day install i would just navigate though all the setting and turn off/on and see what helps.
If you break it you can always return with a early snapshot or reinstall
Play and learn
And most off all whoogle/google

[yum13241]

Google?!

Google is forbidden.

Approach Linus Torvalds, SGS, dr460nf1r3, and the other devs, and seek forgiveness for your sins.

Of course I'm joking, but Google is notorious for disrespecting human rights. and imo privacy is one of them.

4 OP: You can disable the compositor (the thing that does those fancy shmancy effects by pressing ShIft+Alt+F12.

[nishant]

after pressing alt+shift+F12 my system became fast & furious but I lost all the beauty and pleasure of using KDE . I guess, it'd still be better than using xfce.

[yum13241]

What you can do is disable certain effects without disabling others in kde settings.

Also, alt+shift+F12 doesn't persist across reboots afaik. Uncheck the "Compositing" checkbox in the kde system settings section thats for window management afaik.

Also KDE-Lite edition exists, but is unsupported. Use it if you complain about bloat. It DOES have Garuda tools otherwise it would be an endeavourOS clone

@nishant

KDE Dragonized is not intended for older/under-powered hardware.

[nishant]

I couldn't even find KDE system settings. I could only find Garuda Settings Manager which does not even respond on clicking

[yum13241]

It's called System Settings

[nishant]

please don't say that, it hurts me a lot

[yum13241]

Maybe dr460nized is the reason my roblox doesn't run well lol.

I'll probably have to install endeavourOS on YET another parition, set everything up, and see how it goes.

[jonathon]

@yum13241

I’ll probably have to install endeavourOS

You know that there are different versions of Garuda with less bling-bling-shiny-shiny-eye-candy that you could also try?

[nishant]

Okay, new update I deactivated blur background from settings and my system became butter cheese and its rolling like roller coaster. I feel no lagging issues. Seems like the blur background feature hogs on the most CPU power. I liked the blur background feature a lot but I had to compromise. At least I have all the animations working perfectly fine I'm happy

[mrvictory]

Congratulations on finding a solution Mark your post as "solution" so others can find it too.

Okay, Thank You, Mr. Victory, and all of the loving community members especially, @yum13241, @tbg, @TilliDie, @SGS for taking your time, effort, skills, and knowledge to guide me and help me out of this troublesome situation. I will always be grateful.
