I was of the opinion that ubuntu is a bit lighter then windows 7. I did first install with disk encryption, the system crashed a lot, and when I tried to update the graphic card driver AMD/ATI system also crashed.
I reinstalled the OS and now it runs a bit better but still a little slow.
My system specs are:
- Ubuntu version 14.10
- Cpu intel core i5 m460 2.53ghz x 4
- 4 GB of ram, system only shows 3,5 though
- I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB, but the system shows intel@ Ironlake mobile.
So I guess my 3D-card is not currently in use. The HD has 500 GB but only 5400 RPM.
I think that the slow system comes from here ?
Is there anything I can do to get it a bit boosted or any solution getting the 3D- card to work properly?
