Description

Good day,

This is a Ryzen 5700G box running HelloSystem 0.7.0 off an external SSD USB with 32 GB of RAM. Assigend 2 GB to VRAM in BIOS.

The system behaves quite poorly, anything that is drawn on the screen takes even seconds to appear.
- Even typing letters have to wait for a second from hitting the key to the actual letter to appear on screen.
- Mouse cursor jumps from location to location making it hard to click on any menu/icon

Querying the About System reports the system has 32GB of RAM, instead of 30 GB, leaving the 2 GB of RAM used theoretically by the iGPU. I presume HelloSystem is bypassing BIOS settings and finds no memory assigned to the GPU thus its performance is a PITA?

I would appreciate any help on how to solve this issue, and let me know if I can provide more info to identify why this happens.

Regards,
RR
