My system is very sluggish running the latest version of Ubuntu. Websites are slow to load, programs startup slowly.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot / tweak ubuntu to make it faster?
Hardware:
- Ryzen 7 1700 (Not Overclocked)
- 16GB DDR4 Running at 3000 (2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000)
- ASUS B450-i Motherboard
- 512GB Crucial MX300 M2.SATA
- AMD RX570 with 8GB
- Gigabit Ethernet
When I run the sensors command, I don't see any data related to my CPU.
Internet speed test came back at 282.6 Down / 17.7 Up.
I'm running the recommended BIOS from ASUS (2501). (newer bios versions are geared towards the new ryzen 3000 series processors)
I have completed a full run of memtest86 successfully. (This was the first thing I did after building the computer)
