I am a Linux beginner but I recently switched to Linux and my computer is having extremely poor performance. It runs really fast on Windows but is super laggy on Linux (I have dual boot). It seems like high CPU usage based on the system monitor. I use it in with dual monitors if that's a factor. Its unusably slow in all programs.
Any help is appreciated!
Here are the specs.
