If you are using Linux on a computer that formerly had Windows XP, then you should probably use a lightweight GUI -- not the default GUIs like Unity, Gnome or KDE that most distributions have. Look for lightweight GUI like Xfce, LXQt or even MATE.charlesjacob4695 wrote:Anyone else notice a performance loss when using Ubuntu compared to XP Home or Pro?

How have your experiences been? What optization techniques can I employ to speed the GUI up a bit?
