Why does my laptop run at near or 100% CPU load?

Thanks for all the good advice here.  I'm going to partition my drive and install Linux Mint, and see how the laptop performs.  As mentioned, it's an old laptop running bloated Windows 10, so no surprises that the CPU is under heavy load.

 

@MrJ2U, this is my second/back-up laptop.  My main laptop is a Ryzen i7 which runs fast and fine ????

Good solution. There are two options for Linux Mint; Ubuntu based and Debian based. You may find the Debian based runs a little lighter. Debian versions of SlimJet browser will install upon both.

    First thing I check is task manager?

    You can look in Task Manager to see what is utilising the CPU.  You can run https://wpd.app/ to disable services that you might not be using.

Ubuntu is a debian distro. The main reason I see people choose mint is that it has a desktop which is more similar to windows. I have used ubuntu for the past 13 years.

    There are not 2 versions of linux mint. Apart from the desktop it's identical to ubuntu.

    We're talking about Linux Mint. Linux Mint is offered with a choice of either a Ubuntu or a Debian base.

    The difference between these two and ubuntu is basically the desktop UI. core differences: nil.

    'LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead'. Thank you for your information.

    Functionally identical. They just want to remove reliance on Canonical for the package manager..
