[ale] ubuntu 12.04 SLOW!

[Raj Wurttemberg]

Yeah, that Unity window manager is a beast!  I ditched Ubuntu and switched to LUbuntu, it uses the LXDE window manager. Light weight and has all the same features at Ubuntu.

 

Unity made me feel more isolated from the OS than even OS X.  :(

I just have time for a quick message, but has anyone noticed Ubuntu 12.04 runs VERY slow. I mean, my vintage 2002 single core machine on 11.04 32 bit with 1 GB of RAM runs better than my 1 year old dual core machine with 8 GB RAM on 12.04 64 bit. Google ubuntu 12.04 slow sluggish. You'll see, I'm not the only person who sees this. Anyone know anything about it and what I can do about it other than retrograde back. With this and Unity (which I've banished), I'm NOT impressed.

Sincerely,

Ron
