  • Hmm… interesting you mention terminal really slow to open up. I still experience this also - the first time I open a terminal (only), and only if I try to open it shortly after I boot the machine. I’ve tried several times to find out why this is, but without success (without a terminal it’s hard to find out what’s blocking the terminal…)

    The other thing I dumped was the latest Ubuntu Studio Chromium install, because it installs a snap, which is laggy to fire up, which also drove me crazy. I use the Mint chromium build now, which is a real native build, not a snap, and works great.


  • Ubuntu Studio (XFCE desktop). It’s not the fanciest desktop, has one or two rough edges, and there are one or two tweaks I make right away on any new install, but I can get most things done without thinking about the OS at all now.

    I like the UI eye candy of KDE, but I find it too weighty for an everyday use distro.

    I used to use Debian plus XFCE, but it’s a bit too spartan for me these days.
