The latest Ubuntu defaults to using Wayland. On my Framework, it would freeze the whole box every few days. I switched to Xorg, and it was much better. (It’s an option on the login screen - just clock the little cog and choose Xorg before you log in.)

Perplexity cites its sources though, so you can just read those when you suspect it’s halloucinating.

Decimated literally means “reduced by one tenth”. So I guess you’re right. A one third reduction is not “decimated”. It’s three times worse than that.
