Ask HN: Ubuntu getting slower, what is alternative?

1 pointsby tuyguntn6 anni fa3 comments

Recently my ubuntu linux started getting slower after each update (maybe false perception). X-org eating 50% CPU, firefox, chrome competing for CPU, battery drain and other problems with pre-installed software (snap is one example) and so on.

On same laptop I use dual boot with Windows 10, and not feeling any of above problems, but I am used to be in Linux for development.

Any recommendations for distributions which is fast and non-bloated?

Where my work machine is Fedora (RH shop) my personal VMs have been Void lately because it so far has been straightforward to use, and runs well on lean resources.

I switched to Manjaro 2 years ago after 12 years on Ubuntu (since Edgy Eft) and never looked back.

You can check distrowatch.com for most popular distros.

Mint is well-liked and often used as an alternative to Ubuntu, and it's known for being reasonably lightweight. I haven't used it myself in several years.
