Howdy!

This happened on another machine last year and I just rebooted to solve the problem.

Guess I should FIX the problem this time around.

I have an Acer J22 all in one, i3, 4g ram, Linux, free dos, hidden windows installation partition.

I update pretty much every day and some time in the last week or so I have noticed my machine seems to have really slowed down. The problem is A LOT worse after the machine has been on but dormant for a while, I seldom power down. A reboot seems to alleviate the issue. One time, the machine had been on, but dormant for 24 or so hours and it took a full minute for the password to pop up on my screen saver. When I click the button to shut down the menu box doesn't pop up( at least not before I get exasperated and hold the power button.).
It gets laggy like that other system does when it is doing it's constant downloading updates.

I cannot think of anything major I have done other than a couple of kernal updates. Looking back through my command lines macchanger is the only thing I have added w command line. I added airvpn today, but the problem was before that( I started having dns leaks and, following several post instructions, determined it is vypr vpn causing the leak(I know, another post).).

Thank you in advance for your thoughts<

Forgive me, but copy/paste was easiest.

Copy&paste is how you typically post terminal output; putting it in between code tags (as I've done for you this time) will make it easier to read.

Thank you! I learned something new today. Now I know how to do that.
