Hi all !

What is the problem with Solus OS to have a processor demand of 23% average for viewing one video "YT" or Windows 10 is at 8% average for the same use ! With Vivaldi and others browser ?

My hardware smokes with Solus OS in particular, I tried recently with MX Linux we are around 13% !

Cryptocurrency mining? LOL
My conf i7, gtx, more 8Go, etc... No problem in this side !

Thanks to those who'll solved my problem !

gtx : I suppose it's a nvidia GPU ? Have you installed the nvidia proprietary drivers ? If not, it will use nouveau.

The problem is "Budgie" environement !

Dell XPS 9560 with i7-7700HQ and 24 GB of RAM. I don't use the NVidia card but the Intel built in one.
YouTube running, 8 CPUs, average of 9%.
YouTube closed, all the CPUs drop to around 3%.

I'm pretty sure it's something related to the NVidia drivers. Maybe in the way they interact with Budgie, but definitely not a problem of Budgie itself.

Edit:
I've around 50, or even more, cards open (or standby) in Vivaldi, IntelliJ IDEA (that eats up to 4GB or RAM), Email and the system monitor.
