I have been having a running battle with steam of late, games that used to run were not, Steam said I can't run so and so game on steam with Linux, well I did a bit of digging around and found my processor was running on "one core" only, changed it to three and now all games are running fine, please do not ask where I found that, as I have no idea? now my head hurts going for a lie down

I wonder how your computer switched to only running one core ..... when using Psensor ..... my temp app ..... I show 5 cores .... should be six all running .....
I don't have a good hardware app like I had on Windows ..... anyone have a idea for a good one using Zorin ?????? ......

It's rather common to start counting from 0 in computer science; a reading of "core 5" may actually be the sixth core in your machine. Do you also have a "core 0", "cpu 0" or similar?

Yup ..... never took a Computer Science course ..... back in my school days they didn't have computers and not even cell phones .... imagine that ....we barely had electricity ...... 
Thank you for setting me straight .....

That means nothing to me, I'm trying to learn as I go along. but on the plus side, I now have time to indulge my interest in Linux, also I have found some newbie websites for Linux, "Timeshift" has become my new best friend!
