Oh god! Why did I change to Ubuntu!!! This machine is running hotter and slower!!! Battery drains faster than ever!

There's no going back to windows 10... looking back, I love windows 10 despite its faults :')

Did anyone else experience the same? First thing I'm doing in the morning is install arch linux

Linux hasnt highest priority by the manufacturers.

Arch isn't necessarily better for easy compatibility with laptops

Unity is horrible, have you tried the others?

I am waiting for Solus to be more ubuntu like (compatibility wise)

@Wallpaper I tried enlightment, not much improvement. Well now on to Antergos

@killermenpl yes, but will it be light enough to have a machine running smoother?

@DLMousey the only thing I know it's a 8core intel i7-26--MQ, 8gb ram in a samsung laptop dating back to 2010.

I managed with lubuntu! Running quite normal. Ubuntu is just a big heavyweight!

Still itching for that Arch tho, I'm really attracted to AUR. But I face enough challenges as a Linux newb so I'll stick with what I have for now.. Or will I ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

@runfrodorun and thank you for your insight, sincerity and wisdom!

Everyday I am ever more curious with how this works :)

And that's why I didn't completely removed Windows😇

Hey guys.For all you care, I ended up with Lubuntu (ubuntu using lightweight desktop environment lxde) with arc-theme, numix-circle icons and to control for temperature and battery life, simply installed tlp and thermald.

As a minimalist who just wants coding tools on my laptop, I'm really happy with this setup and it runs better than windows :)
