There's a large number of possible reasons for the slowness here. Indeed maybe try a lighter version like:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04.5/release/xubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-i386.iso ** Summary changed: - very slow execution of boot and other tasks + Very slow execution of boot and other tasks on an Atom N270 ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893704 Title: Very slow execution of boot and other tasks on an Atom N270 Status in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: problems with time taken to execute tasks, perhaps as a result of cumulative updates over several lts editions.i am a complete novice, sorry I cannot provide more specific information.With more recent updates,a lot of time seemed to be spent loading? generic files one after another,for no apparent reason,{just watching update details in progress window}what I think is needed is a clean install, but I do not know how to do that and maintain data etc.The computer is a small netbook,Medion E1210.,probably needs a lighter version.
