Funny enough (so to speak...), my main laptop mainboard just crashed and 
I'm currently back to a 2007 Hewlett-Packard laptop (15 years old!) 
running Linux.
The Nvidia GPU driver is not supported anymore by the latest X11 🙁 
(AFAIK, they dropped the DirectX9 programming interface. Have to use 
Nouveau driver + DRI / OpenGL2.1).
.
Surprisingly, I can run Freecad almost flawlessly (on not too 
complicated designs), but Eeschema is stunningly slow (for example, 
serious lag when moving components onscreen).
A positive note : a slow machine help put some parts of the code 
efficiency under the magnifying glass 😁 !!

-> AFAIK, This is "Planned Obsolescence".
