Also, it would be erroneous to assume that Lubuntu wouldn't be caught by the same changes shaping Ubuntu, at least on some level. We're not using the same desktop interface, but we are using the same kernel. We're also using the same init system. This is particulary relevant as 16.04 was the first LTS release that used systemd. systemd is something that we could spend hours writing about pros and cons of. In fact, it's been something of a holy war in the world of Linux. Far too much time has been wasted arguing about the pros and cons of it. The reality of it is that, for Lubuntu, since Ubuntu is using it, we're using it. And that means we're mostly at the whims of what Ubuntu decides to do with regards to configuration. However, one should note that unlike the previous init system, systemd is lazy or dependency-based, which is like saying it doesn't load things until needed. Oddly, this can mean that sometimes if a service is not loaded as early as possible, the *overall* boot time can be increased. Which gets at another thing: you can affect the system and customize it for yourself. The first part of that is analyzing things. You can find out a little bit about that here: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/systemd-blame.html https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/systemd/Optimizations/ The other thing I'll mention is that since Lubuntu has historically been focused on limiting resource use as much as possible, we have used zram. However, because of a bug in initramfs, boot times were increaed because of this. We plan on fixing this in 18.04 and so on, but meanwhile you can use the manual workaround mentioned there if you are affected: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1781746 -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
