This was on an i5 sony laptop from 2014 which is still pretty ok.
Also I tested it on my desktop and linux stuff just runs slow on it.
Do you nerds like to meme people?

install Debian you stupid faggot, it runs fine on my machine, fans are running much fucking cooler than before, maybe you are just an autistic faggot with shitty hardware, go complain somewhere else
Austin Harris
>shitty hardware >runs windows 10 the 'bloated piece of shit' OS perfectly

Dude you're making no sense
Nolan Morris
it runs fine on my machine, thanks for restarting what i already said Windows 10 is garbage

>download ubuntu found your problem. >elementary OS ubuntu fork made by retards who think design is the only important side of an OS.
Grayson Turner
Why was my fan going crazy? Ubuntu is surely lighter than windows right?
Jose Powell
Well then try something different than Ubuntu. ElementaryOS is just based in Ubuntu. Download Manjaro XFCE or KDE.
Blake Perez
yeah what a retarded saying, your one experience proves nothing
sounds like SONY lacks freeware drivers, get to it neets
William Miller
try Xubuntu Lubuntu or Ubuntu Mate. Unity(the "oficial" DE) is hard on resorces.
Logan Rogers
Does your laptop have a dedicated GPU? It might be that your laptop defaults to your dedicated GPU to render everything and not to your integrates graphics. If you install bumblebee you can get the same functionality as NVidia Optimus (smart switching between dedi and integrated GPU). I'm not a supporter of Linux though, I run Windows on my XPS 15. It's just that I think this might be your problem.

i got proofs, but it'll have to wait until i get home from work.

Ubuntu is the most bloated of all distros.
For a noob try Debian.
If you're more proficient try Arch.

Yeah it has an amd mobile gpu. Is there no way to counter this shit

Windows may not have as many noisy fans, but it has a large number of annoying and persistent shills.

>using any Gnome 3 based DE Fucking retard. And don't use KDE either.
Yes, but it's desktop environment (unity) requires a lot more resources than your average linux DE. You should have used Ubuntu mate to begin with.
Anthony Peterson
no, i was on iphone. now im on linux.

Most likely a missing driver or two. Did this laptop feature a discrete GPU?

Xubuntu runs flawlessly on a laptop I have that's 8+ years old. All you Pajeets are full of shit and haven't touched Linux in your stinky smelly life.
Christian Lewis
You need to run it against a Windows version with no driver support for your laptop. Try vista.
Nicholas Thompson
All the people I knew that died used windows. All the linux users I know are still alive.
Christopher Miller
There is no top/htop just shitposting. Gud job pajeet.
Jonathan Carter
Well, that can be a reason.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Arch, Debian or even Ubuntu run perfectly smooth on a Thinkpad X220, a laptop from 2011. Maybe you should consider to buy a real laptop, user.

Maybe you should by a laptop with good Linux support if you plan to run Linux on it fucking nigger
Dylan Rivera
I also noticed that my laptop got hotter when I ran Linux on it. Everything ran smoothly though. Turns out it was using the Nvidia GPU and it was ignoring the integrated Intel one. I found the right drivers which allowed me to switch between them whenever I wished and solved the problem

How fucking dumb are you?

I've already cleaned it up, replaced the fan and the cooling paste you mong
Dominic Garcia
>learn about it since I know jack shit
I doubt this part. Really highly. If you were trying to learn something, you wouldn't just stop when it got difficult. You didn't learn. You skimmed and got frustrated when it didn't "just work".
I'm willing to bet you know next to nothing about linux, and just about zero when it comes to OS design or function.
If you REALLY want to learn, get back on there and don't quit because it gets hard.
Ethan Sanders
BRB, gotta download more thermal paste so that Windows can handle my fans better.
