I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 with Plex server. Decided I try Flashback to see if it would save on ram use. Ubuntu default is about 1200 mb ram at boot launching neofetch. With Flashback it is 652 mb ram at...

I really liked 16.04 it seemed about perfect and very fast. For whatever reason 18.04 seems more bloated, feels slower, though it looks very polished at the same time. I'm hoping 20.04 gets back to...

That's not bad memory use, though I thought it might be a bit less in flashback. I usually check from a fresh boot, launch neofetch in terminal to get a reading with nothing else open on the desktop....

So you are upgrading with a Live USB? I haven't tried that, but have thought about giving it a shot.

Just curious, how much ram are you using with Classic compared to regular Gnome?

Use blkid in terminal to determine the UUID of your swap partition.

Find the one that doesn't match your /etc/fstab and remove it using a text editor to put the correct UUID's into /etc/fstab...

I'm satisfied with 18.04 ATM. Hopefully 20.04 will be great, but I like to wait until at least the first point release anyway, so no hurry here.

Just for future reference--be careful where you are installing grub when you install Linux onto a USB stick. I'm guessing you installed grub to SDA instead of SDB, or wherever you usb stick was...

You would have to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04, then Ubuntu 18.04, that's why a clean install would be best. Depending upon your computer, do you have another option/way of installing Ubuntu besides...

I'm not an expert on this, but since no one else has responded my advice would be to install the newest LTS Ubuntu release 18.04. That will get you a newer kernel and perhaps some updated drivers...

Brother laser printers are also very good. Find one reconditioned for a good price.

Yes, just download the Ubuntu 16.04 iso file and burn the image to your dvd using brasero or xfburn or whatever image burning app you like.

Yes, Firefox has gotten heavy on Ubuntu. Suggest Chromium or Chrome. Also use extensions to block ads, tracking cookies.

That looks promising. Thanks for posting it.

I like that Lewis quote also.
You might try switching to audio books for awhile, still a nice reading experience but a nice change up.

Debian has become much easier to install and use in the last two stable releases. On older hardware it pretty much works out of the box, you will need to enable 'contrib non-free' in sources to get...

Very sorry to hear that. I haven't noticed any problem yet. Hopefully Chromium will get an update that fixes the issue.

I just switched to Chromium on my 32 bit machines. Don't really notice any difference. You can even sign into Google and get all your bookmarks, etc., with Chromium.

Years ago my Father inlaw wanted me to fix his Windows Vista computer. I found it had more than 30 viruses on it. I asked if he wanted to try Ubuntu, he did, so I installed 12.04. He has never had a...

Good idea. It's just a few degrees, but if it gets intolerably hot I may do that.

To make it permanent:
go to preferences
default applications for lxsession
autostart
and in the box put: nm-applet
click on: add
Do a restart and it should be in the panel.

This is not working for me.
"SIS...no compatible module..."
On booting the Live DVD. Could get no working desktop with either Ubuntu or Xubuntu 14.04.
BTW I'm using Linux Lite on the machine with...

Yes, I wonder if the newer kernel in Ubuntu helps. Wheezy is using the 3.2 kernel.

Same computer, same tabs open with one tab streaming music just like with Ubuntu.
