Hi,
I wanted to report some issues with the current KDE spin. While it's great that it
includes 32bit EFI and it can be installed normally on Intel Bay Trail systems, it:
- Doesn't provide hardware video acceleration, I think. It's impossible to play
videos on VLC/Dragon/Totem/Firefox because they change frames like once a minute. They
became somewhat usable with one of the vdpau intel packages, but I can't recall which
one
- The performance is really bad. Simple commands in Konsole, like "ls", can lag
noticeably. Cursor freezes often. Opening applications lags the whole system. I have no
idea what's the reason - CPU usage in htop was far below 100% and there was free RAM
available. I've tried to mess with the swappiness and cache pressure, but it
didnt't solve the issue.
Kubuntu 19.10 works out of the box with none of those issues.
I can't really provide lot of input because I've changed the system and the laptop
isn't mine - but I wanted to report those problems.
Thanks for all the hard work,
brzegorz
