I had a computer that worked ok with Ubuntu 14.04.
After upgrading it to Ubuntu's newest version it became almost unusable.
If I have Libreoffice, Chrome and Gimp open at the same time I just can't do anything. The memory is completely used.
What are you trying to do?
To me it seems more like bloat than something the users really need. The use of RAM is ridiculous.
