Hi brickwizard, I just tried MX Linux, and it's super fast, even from the install media! Thanks for the suggestion! Thanks all. I think the problem is that KDE neon doesn't behave nicely with my hardware.

Ok, I will disable it and check. Thanks.

I just made a new profile, and it definitely seems faster. Thank you. However, I don't that was the entire problem, as apps like Kate and Okular which were both default apps and are both Debs also take a lot of time to start. But thanks, Firefox was my main issue. The other apps work well even...

Ok thanks, will try it.

Thanks all! I'll reply back in a few days if I see the problem exists in other Distros too.

Ok thanks brickwizard! I think I'll test the live session of some other distros for a while to see if this is a distro-specific problem.

I just checked in the store, I have Firefox (which is what I mostly use) installed as a Deb, but I still see the same slowness in Firefox too.

Hi brickwizard, Shouldn't the chipset only affect any network connections, or can it also affect the speed at which apps are opened etc? Also, is there any solution?

Hi @MatsuShimizu I got this output for sudo systemd-analyze blame 3.715s NetworkManager-wait-online.service 1.708s dev-sda6.device 1.078s snapd.service 649ms dev-loop2.device...

Yes, I understand that, but the system seems slow. I was looking for ways to improve the performance to have it equal to or greater than Windows, because Linux is generally (from what I've read) a lot faster. Could it be a driver problem or that some of my hardware is not well supported by the...

Also, yes, I do have some snap packages. But the slowness I see is not limited to only the snaps. This install is about a week old. I had another neon install before this, and that one too had the same problem. KDE neon is kind of like Kubuntu but it has rolling updates for Plasma software, so...

Thanks! I got this output for inxi -Fxz : System: Kernel: 5.8.0-55-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.22.1 Distro: KDE neon 20.04 5.22 base: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Machine: Type: Convertible System: LENOVO product: 80V5 v: Lenovo YOGA 710-15IKB serial...

Hi guys. On my laptop, I have a dual boot Windows and KDE neon set up. For some reason, Windows feels faster than neon in general. I don't have any tests or anything to prove it, but on a day-to-day usage basis, Windows feels a lot snappier than Linux. Apps open faster, websites load faster...
