Hi all,
I have just recently bought an HP Stream 14.
I don’t think this isn’t directly UM-related, as with Windows 10 it was slow generally, and browsing too. Also tried Manjaro, looks like a nice distro, but that too was slow browsing. It may just be that HP Stream is a very slow machine. I have read around, and many people say the wifi on the Stream is poor anyway, with one writer recommending a USB wifi dongle.
If I launch FF, it can take at least 4 or 5 seconds before the window becomes visible, landing on ubuntu mate start page.
If I type bbc.co.uk, it can takes between 1 or 4 seconds for page to complete loading.
If FF is already open and I click FF again to get a new window, it’s usually much quicker, just under a sec to get to Ubuntu Mate start page.
Even then, with FF open, I wasn’t using FF for 2 or 3 minutes; I clicked on “Community” on welcome , the window opened straight away but stayed blank for ten seconds before becoming visible. Im guessing sometimes pages do not show until page is complete.
I plumbed for Zesty 64 bit version ( machine has 3.8 Gb ram, 32gb eMMC drive ).
So I was wondering if any users out there on low powered machines or PI/ SBC experience this kind of performance?
Thank you
