Ubuntu 20.04 slow after unattended-upgrade and reboot

I am seeing significantly worse performance after rebooting. This is noticeable across the entire machine (using apps, browser, terminal, etc.), but I am going to use this particular compilation since it is easy to quantify and I know how much time it should take:

Before:

$ time npm run build:app

Current Problem:

How do I switch between GPUS on Ubuntu?
lk flag

One of my laptops (Acer Aspire Timeline 5820TZG) has two GPUs. First the integrated Intel one, and second an AMD Radeon HD. When I'm running Windows, I can use the Amethyst Control Center to switch between cards.

On Ubuntu, I actually don't even know what card is processing my graphics, let alone how to change it. For some programs like OBS, which don't work on Ubuntu at the moment, I'm hoping th ...

Uninstalling Gnome 3 interrupted; now frontend locked?

I am very new to Ubuntu. I've had 20.04 with Gnome 3 for a couple months. Well, I wanted to try kubuntu. I got kubuntu installed and it is up and running. I went to uninstall Gnome 3 (using directions from the internet), but halfway through uninstalling, I exited out, not knowing you couldn't just start over again.

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
