I'm new to the OS and to Linux in general and I would like to know why is my laptop running eOS so slow (even slower than it ran Windows)
Specs: AMD A10-8700P, 8GB DDR3, 5400RPM 1Tb HHD and Radeon R6 integrated graphics. I know it's not the best setup but I think it deserves better than what I'm getting. I disabled animations with Tweaks. Everything is slow (start, login, opening Chrome, File explorer, Discord, Spotify, etc...) Only Terminal seems to be opening instantaneously. Even closing the laptop and reopening it (waking it up) takes a whole 40 seconds or so...
Every comment is much obliged!
