Sometimes one might have issues with delayed opening of GTK apps, but I’m pretty sure there can be multiple causes. All misconfiguration, so it would be weird since you’re on Kubuntu.
Go to terminal and type in top .. Maybe something like fs-miner is chewing CPU cycles? File indexing can sometimes do this.
@Canadian_Cabinet Did you put Linux on a slow hard drive? KUbuntu can be slow on poor speed hdds just like any other operating system.
One more thing to add. Snaps? I heard it takes pretty long to open.
Snaps definitely are slower to open. One they get going, they are fine.
But a little slow to load...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
