Welp, no sooner did I come to the conclusion that charging was the issue than I found this reply to a similar question on Quora:...
Well guys, I hate to do this, but I retract saying Pop!_OS was the solution. It definitely isn't.
I did find the reason this laptop is throttling though.
It's because it's charging. :KS

Okay, hold the phone. I created a post on the Lenovo forums, and someone told me to switch to Pop!_OS.
I though they were just blowing smoke, but DUDE, Pop launches the Firefox window in under one...
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that, rebooted, and let everything settle. The Firefox window still takes 8-9 seconds to appear, and the home page isn't loaded until 14-15 seconds.
No notable...

I have now disabled all mitigations, but this laptop is still considerably slower than one with lower specs.

Mine is a Flex 3 1570 "80JM"
It has an Nvidia card.
Not sure when this got changed, but my discrete GPU was disabled in BIOS.

Being totally honest - despite being a Linux user for 12 years, and actually ditching Windows entirely in 2018, I'm still just an end-user. I don't know what to do with that output. I have...
Looks like there's a BIOS/UEFI update for the Lenovo Flex 1570 available on their website, but it's in EXE format. The instructions say to install it through Windows....

I was watching a YouTube video today where a guy installed Manjaro on a 2012 MacBook Pro, and the exact second he clicked the Firefox icon, the application window was open. For me, when I click...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Unfortunately I am about to jump on a plane, and I'm not going to take the Lenovo with me on this trip, since I won't have any time to mess with it. I'll dig...
I own two laptops, but one of them has much nicer hardware (bigger screen, touch screen, 10-key, backlit keys, etc).
Unfortunately, my "nicer" laptop is unbearably slow, even though it supposedly...

About once out of every five times that I boot my PC, I get an error right after BIOS that says something to the effect of "Failed to execute; EFI\(a long string of characters)\vmlinuz.efi not found"...
No. Usually sitting in the mid-thirties.
How would I test that?
If I'm on an UEFI system, and I create a bootable ISO, can I still run memtest86 from that?
I don't quite remember. I'll check into it. Looks like the driver there is a different version than I am using, but I did notice that OBS won't record on this latest driver. Perhaps it's causing...
