I'd say stick with 32bits unless you need more than 4GB _at once_. I had a x60s with archlinux, and 32 bits felt faster (esp. Java/processing is unusable on 64bits). On my new x201 I installed 32 bits too. Just an feeling, no hard data ;). > >- anything else I should consider? Get a ssd drive. That's the main bottleneck on these computers. My thinkpad got to boot to X from 15s to 6s just by changing the drive. Switching to systemd makes it in about 4s. > >- following the guidelines above (or any others you find relevant), how > >much space should I reserve to install the ubuntu system? > 15-20Gb should be more than enough and keep you safe for your system > if you have a separate $HOME partition.
