@irene thats just what can happen over the weeks or months using windows. Only possibility is to reinstall. I have to reinstall every 2 months because shit gets slow af. Like literally to the moment that task manager takes 10s to open. After reinstalling it opens instantly again.

I used Windows 10 since it came out for dev, work, school, university and design and it always idled at 0-1% on all machines.
I call bullshit on your setup, autostart and/or not tweaked Group Policies (aka actual settings in Windows).
And now don't be like yo linux is so gud winsux, gnome idles at around 30% all the time, the cpu gouverneurs are shit imo and linux is the definition von on-the-fly terminal fixes you fiddle out over 2 weeks instead of getting work done. -
You call bullshit on whatever you want that audiodg.exe is broken for doing a basic thing like playing a bloody sound. Dug deep and manually found and reinstalled drivers and now it seems better, at 8% usage when playing an audiobook.
Don't try to blame the user, I have ran through the settings. 8% of an i7 to play sound and windows wouldn't have it any other way. -
Windows and Chrome are both pretty bad.
16 GB is not a lot of RAM. A handful of chrome tabs can eat that up and you start getting CPU pegging from swapping. It’s stupid.
It’s been happening on my Linux box lately as well. I can’t react fast enough to stop chrome. All I hear is my fan going on max and all of a sudden, my system freezes. -
@irene Chrome somehow takes over my arch box >_> Happened twice this past month, and I'm not sure how to repro or debug it. Found nothing in the logs. Last action I remember is switching to my gmail tab and hearing my box go bitcoin mode.
I did manage to run a top last time and take this photo before my system hung. Note: that's *one* tab taking 10.5 GB of memory.
We could set cgroup limits to constrain chrome. But I kind of want this to keep on happening so I can get repro and see what's going on.

@irene you lucky bitch. I have to redownload my whole fucking steam library everytime. I hate it. Tell me how u do this magic
-
@irene yeah that'd be a possible solution. Windows doesnt support ext though and cant mount my huge drives. So no chance. And dont tell me to use that piece of trash ext2fs
-
@toriyuno Apparently I'm too stupid to setup ext2fs then. I had my setup working with it like 3 years ago. But after 5hrs of frustration because it simply didn't want to work I gave up
Fuck Windows 10. Period.
An amateur shit-show of junk. If you have an i3 processor it will find a way to choke it to 80% with the bloody audiodg.exe.
I have an i7 and takes 25% CPU from Windows Graph Audio Isolation to play a YouTube video and 12-13 % when idle.
Junk spaghetti with some half-useless UI over the same settings that were available in much older Windows versions.
I hate having a decent 16 GB ram, 512 SSD and Radeon and so on laptop, for it to be disabled and abused by Windows and Chrome.
