#Ubuntu is surprisingly unresponsive compared to Windows. Launching programs can take 5-10 seconds (with no indication that anything is happening). Resizing a window sometimes resizes the frame and then takes a second to fill in the contents. Even the internet seems slow to respond.

I would have expected to get *more* performance without Microsoft constantly uploading data. Does this match anyone else's experience? Any ideas?
@peterdrake Look in Settings->About at the Display entry. If you see something about "llvmpipe" and not X11 or Wayland, then all the display work is being handled by the CPU, not the GPU. That could account for the laggard screen responses.

Windowing System says X11.
Within Software & Updates, it thinks I'm using the right driver:
