   better but still had    
   the problem. The task is unmanageable while this problem exists. What can I do   
   about it? would more RAM help? I have 16 Gb installed. The CPU is AMD Ryzen 5   
   5500 × 6. and the motherboard is an Asus Prime B550M-K

   You can use:   
      
      which grsync   
      
   for a quick check. Or even start the program from   
   the command line, as proof it is present.   
      
   The program will have a .desktop file, which is a description   
   of the details of adding it to a menu. In fact, Synaptic should   
   list all the files for the installed package, in Properties.
