My laptop is INSPIRON 1545 with the following configurations

  • 2GB ram
  • 250GB hard disk
  • Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz × 2

I installed ubuntu 16.04 last month but it was quite laggy on my laptop. I really want to use use it. i am currently using solus which is good but is there a way to use ubuntu on my laptop without it lagging?

  • Have you installed a graphic driver? This could cause the slowness/laggyness of your system if you haven't so far. – dufte Sep 06 '16 at 09:38

    And what do you mean with 'using solus'? – dufte Sep 06 '16 at 09:39

  • What's your graphics adapter? Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of `lspci -nnk | grep -A2 VGA`? – David Foerster Sep 07 '16 at 09:09

(1)First of all make clean your tmp folder :

find /tmp -ctime +5 -exec rm -rf {} +

(This will delete your files older than 5 days)

(2) Try to use logrotate to maintain your log files .

(3) Increase your RAM , if it is possible.

(4) Try to make partition such that linux swap partition can get enough large memory for swaping purpose , it will not allow to hang your laptop .Read my answer.
