    Lightbulb Get better performance kubuntu14.04 on netbook

    I have a netbook lenovo s10-2. Since 2012 i have Kubuntu. Not slow like much people think. I have with netbook-plasma. Great desktop.

    I updated kubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04, since then my netbook is slow, take more time to open software. I was try to find something like low-fat-settings, that not exist anymore. But do something similar. i cant find any information about Kubuntu 14.04 on netbooks, to know others experience. Of course i can change to other distro with a light desktop, but, i cant give that step, netbook plasma is the best, and doesnt exist a similar solutions to small screens. Netbook plasma is the best solution.

    Anyohem knom how get a better performance in kubuntu 14.04 on netbooks?

    Thanks

    First thing I would do is disable akonadi. Instructions are here. Note that you must modify the configuration of the standard clock widget in the panel so it won't use Akonadi. You also cannot use other Akonadi-enabled apps like KMail or Kontact. I don't use those so I routinely disable Akonadi on weaker machines like my ASUS 1201n netbook.
