I have a Nvidia GPU, which I understand is problematic with Linux. I’ve heard this is something can happen, so I assume it’s why the “Cinnamon” process is using around 20-40% CPU resources at all times. So, how do I switch to using GPU for that? I’ve installed Nvidia drivers through the driver manager already
Edit: I figured it out, SecureBoot was turned on on the UEFI-level. I disabled it and reinstalled Mint, and it seems to work now.
Are you using wayland? No idea if there is cinnamon wayland. I have the same issue on gnome, the last nvidia driver that worked under wayland was 570. Since then, unfortunately the only thing that helped was going back to X.
wayland is incomplete on cinnamon iirc. i don’t think they ship it by default.
