Windows 10 is garbage

found your problem.
>elementary OS
ubuntu fork made by retards who think design is the only important side of an OS.

>>56566398
Why was my fan going crazy?
Ubuntu is surely lighter than windows right?

>>56566152
Well then try something different than Ubuntu. ElementaryOS is just based in Ubuntu. Download Manjaro XFCE or KDE.

>>56566276
yeah what a retarded saying, your one experience proves nothing

sounds like SONY lacks freeware drivers, get to it neets

>>56566622
try Xubuntu Lubuntu or Ubuntu Mate.
Unity(the "oficial" DE) is hard on resorces.

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.

Ubuntu is the most bloated of all distros.

For a noob try Debian.

If you're more proficient try Arch.

Why are you here, /v/?

>>56566857
Yeah it has an amd mobile gpu.
Is there no way to counter this shit

>>56566152
Windows may not have as many noisy fans, but it has a large number of annoying and persistent shills.

Fucking retard.
And don't use KDE either.

Works for me™©®

>>56566622
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.

no, i was on iphone.

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.

>>56566152
You need to run it against a Windows version with no driver support for your laptop. Try vista.

All the people I knew that died used windows.
All the linux users I know are still alive.

There is no top/htop just shitposting. Gud job pajeet.

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, anon.

This was on an i5 sony laptop from 2014 which is still pretty ok.

Also I tested it on my desktop and Windows stuff just runs slow on it.

Do you nerds like to meme people?

>>56569601
XD

Maybe you should by a laptop with good Linux support if you plan to run Linux on it
fucking nigger

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

>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.

>>56570768
BRB, gotta download more thermal paste so that Windows can handle my fans better.
