I'm currently seeking assistance from a Linux specialist, as I'm not particularly proficient in Linux myself.
Recently, I upgraded my PC from an i5 4th gen with a 1050ti graphics card to an i9 13th gen (i713700k) with integrated graphics, alongside a dedicated 1050ti.
My old Linux bare-metal setup on the i5 4th gen ran smoothly and performed admirably. However, recognizing the age of the i5, I decided to modernize my setup with the latest i713700k processor, NVME storage, and a Gigabyte motherboard, while retaining the old 1050ti GPU.
Despite the i713700k's integrated graphics capability, I encountered compatibility issues with Linux, as some sources suggested that the latest integrated GPU accompanying the i713700k might not be fully supported. Consequently, I opted to utilize the old 1050ti GPU and installed Kali Linux.
I had hoped that with the newer CPU, Linux would perform even better, but unfortunately, that hasn't been the case. I'm experiencing significant lag, particularly noticeable when running applications like Chrome, Burp, and various terminal commands. Keystrokes are delayed by 3-4 seconds, making the system practically unusable.
In an attempt to resolve this issue, I experimented with different desktop environments such as Gnome, Xfce, and SDE, but to no avail. Ultimately, I ended up reinstalling my Linux distribution, losing all my files and tools in the process.
It's worth mentioning that my system boasts 16GB of RAM, and according to the 'htop' command, CPU usage remains low at 2-5%, with 50-70% of RAM free.
Any insights or guidance on resolving these performance issues would be greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
