Ubuntu 20.04 is running great (again) on older hardware

When Ubuntu made the move from Unity to Gnome3, with 18.04, my old su4100 laptop from 2010, did not run the new Gnome3 really well. So I tried out Mate, and in the end Kubuntu.

I was surprised that KDE was much smoother experience than Gnome3 on 18.04. At that moment.

Things improved with Gnome3 with 19.10, but now with 20.04 Ubuntu is running nice again on lower spec hardware.

Still a SSD is much needed, but my old su4100 2 core processor, is delivering a nice and smooth feeling with a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install.

Great.

That’s why I like Linux. Free, open source, and more sustainable than Apple OS or Microsoft Windows.
