Device hangs very badly (Ubuntu 24.04)?

Hi!

I have a laptop here: Acer Aspire ES1-512-C1N2 (Hardware: CPU: Intel Celeron N2940; 4 GB DDR3L RAM; 500 GB HDD…)

But even the Ubuntu 24.04 desktop lags heavily in its animations. The mouse pointer tends to jerk when moving. This gets annoying over time. Maximizing and minimizing windows also doesn't work smoothly.

What can you do?

I wouldn’t use GNOME as a surface with the bacons. It’s like Xfce. Can you reinstall under Ubuntu via

sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop

Or install a Debian to me xfce. Then you don’t have the Snap Kram… 🙈 They also rob RAM and power.

Intel Celeron N2940

Ten years old low-end CPU.

4 GB DDR3L RAM

The Franke would now politely call it “aweng weng”.

500 GB HDD

also does not accelerate straight.

Before you put money in an outdated system without any sense: look around a new notebook – possibly also a used device. Core i5 from 7. Generation gets you for cheap money.

A Celeron N2940 was already a lame CPU ten years ago, even then operating systems that were significantly slimmer were running on such systems not properly liquid.

Why do you think that weak and outdated hardware should be a current Ubuntu liquid?

Here you are in the wrong forum!

There are Linux forums.

For the first time there are no experts, but this is another topic.

I didn’t say there were none.

I want to tell you. that it is more likely to respond more qualitatively in a Linux forum, especially for “tuning” as you call it.
