50% cpu usage just to move a small window around.

Amazing. 50% CPU usage to move a window.

They got no idea how the other good desktop did it without wasting CPU.

Hopefully Gnome won't break copy-pate this year :/

I can't believe I used that version for 6 whole months and nobody fixed it. I thought my keyboard was broken.

Kids watch, the dinosaurs are back: this is an andyprough and this is a tildearrow; they are millions of years old and use floppy disks, care about a few MB of RAM, and a few percent use of a core.

For the topic on question, this "test" would never go beyond 20% core load on a modern CPU even with 4K display. Also, this was improved in Gnome recently (but may not be in Ubuntu, yet).

I was mind blown when people still voted it the best release in 10 years. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/12/...release-decade I would have taken literally any other version, I even switched to Ubuntu when 9.04 came out so not exaggerating. Initially 20.04 also had this bug with some version and it only got fixed about 2-3 months after the release.

It might be, but when I skimmed the video I did not see him revealing his graphics card. The number of times this is the case its astounding.

I wish nVidia users were as vocal as Arch users. It would leave this so much easier.

I think it has to be, my RX580 makes the CPU go up to a whopping 12%. This is Ryzen 7 but the 1st gen one, I doubt it's THAT much more performant to whatever he was testing on a single core...
