I’m going to be brutally honest and say I have no idea what I’m doing half the time on Linux. Why I chose a development branch less then a month after converting from Windows is something I ask myself on a daily basis… To save myself the embarrassment, I am going to downgrade to the LTS or 16.10 but before I give up I wanna try seeing what I can do about it, Or at the very least, try to understand what happened.
I run apt-get update. upgrade, and dist-upgrade and usually restart on a daily basis, Whatever I just upgraded today has made my AMD processor go absolutely insane on the usage, Compiz seemed to be causing it. So I changed my Window Manager in MATE Tweak to Marco (Compton GPU Compositor) and the problem persists.
Is there a way to see what was upgraded after closing the terminal window?
Edit: After looking around bit and watching my CPU usage spike during windows being moved, I noticed my nvidia drivers are not working properly, I am currently on the x.org driver for some reason and every time I try to check the proprietary drivers, It clicks back to x.org.
