I have noticed a potential issue which may or may not be present for others…?
Since installing the OS,i’ve ran into some performance issues (still much better performance than win10) which i’ve tried to remedy by tweaking a few things,and for the most part i’ve done okay there…
but now i’m noticing that when on sites where memory demand is much greater and more dynamic,my device slows to a crawl and at times becomes unresponsive.
i’ve run into that before,things like memcached and zram have helped there considerably.
i typically use this device connected to an hp monitor,but over the last week or so i’ve been using it more as a standalone,and where i would typically see crashes(while connected via hdmi),i might only see a slight delay,which to me says theres a problem either with the cable,ports,or the driver.
so,after researching i see that at times an hdmi connection can cause the gpu to rely on the cpu,when it tries to make up for the increase between the two devices.
this being a very low memory device,already tweaked for better performance,that small demand seems to create a much larger problem…
perhaps using a proprietary driver in that instance could potentially help?
i’m noticing some distros have software included which search and add proprietary drivers in such situations,does Parrot do the same,and if not,what is the best way for me to determine which drivers would be better without changing things that i don’t have to,and the best method of installation ?
i do recall a program included upon my first install which seemed to do something like this,but i can’t recall which one it was,and when i serch through the installed packages,it’s not there…
sorry for the lengthy post,your help is appreciated.
thank in advance…
