Hey everyone! I recently switched from Ubuntu to Debian and decided to customize my setup using i3. Unfortunately, I'm running into a problem where applications like Nemo and Spotify are super slow to start. In fact, in the case of Spotify, every button press lags for about 5 seconds before it reacts! I've made sure to include dbus and picom in my .xinitrc, and I'm using the proprietary Nvidia drivers. This setup used to work perfectly for me, but I haven't changed any components. Any thoughts on what might be causing these delays?

If you're still having issues, you might want to check out some installation tips that are available in various Linux forums. I've heard that installing over an ethernet connection helps things run more smoothly, and don't forget to remove your boot media when you're done! It sounds silly, but you’d be surprised how often that can cause problems.
Just a heads up, recommending an older version like LMDE might not be the best idea if they want the latest features. It's always good to stay updated with the newest releases for better support and performance, right?
It sounds like your system might be defaulting to a power-saving mode, which can really slow things down. Try running this command in the terminal: `sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance`. It should set your CPU to run at full speed, which can help improve performance significantly.
Consider trying LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It's a bit more user-friendly and could help solve some of the issues you're experiencing, especially if you're used to a more polished experience with Ubuntu.
