| agaida | shouldn't be slow - maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI helps | 00:15 |
| agaida | other than that make sure that cpu boost is available (if supported in bios), give the maximum amount of RAM to bios too, disable cool & quit - thats what i would do/try first | 00:17 |
| ken_ | ok thanks i will take a look. In general though, would it be a good idea everything else being equal, to get an intel graphics laptop for Linux? Better supported? | 00:20 |
| agaida | you will not learn as much as with a AMD Laptop :P | 00:21 |
| agaida | i bought the cheapest possible Lenovo Flex II three years ago and i was (and still be) surprised how fast this little thing is | 00:23 |
| ken_ | yeah, mine is not fast. Quite often, I would type something and it's a half a second or more before it shows up on screen. | 00:24 |
| ken_ | it's even slower in Firefox.... | 00:24 |
| agaida | tune your hard drive or buy an SSD | 00:24 |
| agaida | no joke - i put a current drive into my HP Studio from 2009 - and it feels like a brand new Laptop - so the only hint i can give is - put away rotational devices | 00:26 |
| ken_ | this netbook i am using would barely sell for $60, so putting a $150 SSD it in would be a waste. | 00:26 |
| agaida | :P | 00:27 |
| ken_ | I would just spend $200 on a used laptop instead. :) | 00:27 |
| agaida | same problem - most used laptops for $200 have no ssd | 00:27 |
| agaida | and SSDs speed up even outdated things like that one: http://pb.5id.eu/24ik | 00:28 |
| ken_ | yes i have a Windows laptop that has SSD and it's much faster than my other Windowss laptop with a HDD | 00:29 |
| ken_ | but with this Linux laptop I am using now....I think it's more than just an hard drive problem | 00:30 |
| ken_ | i will look into the graphics card thing u sent | 00:30 |
| agaida | if no important data are on this thing - i would speed up the hard drive first | 00:31 |
| agaida | should give a boost of approx. 30-40% in application loading | 00:31 |
| agaida | second i would use every help i could get from the repository - aka pre-load, uber-readahead and so on | 00:32 |
| agaida | next thing - even with little ram i would use tmpfs as far as possible | 00:33 |
| agaida | and then try to tune the graphics, trying compton with glx backend and such things - and squeeze everything performancewise out of the graphics card - a HD6xxxM should be fast | 00:34 |
| agaida | but to be true - buying a decent used machine and a cheap SSD is the better idea | 00:36 |
| agaida | and regarding your sound problem - try to set the azalia card as default, should be sufficient to solve your sound problem | 00:41 |
