Debian Slowing Down when using geany

[mechanix]

Hello fellow Debian users.


Today I noticed my pc gas been running ridiculously slow when I have geany open along with vlc . does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix this ?

I don't think geany may slow down your Debian performance, perhaps VLC?

Check your "top" or "htop" on terminal to be sure exactly who consumes your mem/cpu usage.

Tested this. It's fine on my side.

Graphics: Intel
Architecture: amd64
DE: MATE

CPU is low e.g. < 4% per core.

Code: Select all

pkill -9 vlc

I run that several times a week, because vlc gets stuck eating up my cpu, even after I've closed it. I've never noticed whether it was related to geany or not. I almost always have geany open. Just last week, I finally made a panel button to run that command in a script, because I got tired of typing it so often.
