[GNOME] My first rice and workflow, Fedora + GNOME works like a dream!
Here's a video of my workflow if anyone's interested! All the credit for the gorgeous implementation of the tiling goes to the devs over at PaperWM! Better than some tiling WMs that I've tried!
I had a Bad ssd that had a similar effect. Even though it passed the badblocks test every time. Maybe there is something in the logs about the controller.
I'm running gnome on Arch. Im using a hard drive so that might explain it. Also it sometimes unexpectedly freezes(might be my nvidia gpu).
I've spent months scouring forums and chatting with fellow users but non have found any way to increase the speed.
