Thanks @mdemerson
@NickSeagull just a heads up, I will be including this command in a blog post here soon. Was trying to get an Ubuntu VM up and running for a Workshop I hosted and your command came in handy when dealing with performance issues.
The blog will be up sometime next week on my LinkedIn page: LinkedIn.com/in/CalvinWorst
Edit: typo
Lovely, glad that this has been useful @CalvinWorst :)
for 24.04 LTS?
