We have 3 ASUS Laptops which have been re-imagined from Windows to Ubuntu 18.04, as part of an initial trial to move all 38 laptops to Ubuntu 18.04.
Every laptop had been installed with Encryption and LVM, via the installer, and each demonstrated lagging, and hanging at regular intervals throughout the day. The pattern seemed to be when the browser was being used with multiple tabs. Initial I suspected perhaps a GPU driver issues, but all the laptops are using the Intel i915 drive appropraite to the chipset. I did wonder about Swap, and so I took one of the laptops and re- installed it, without Encryption and LVM. That laptop now appears to be working without lag or hang ( certainly last 24hrs ) However, I know that our executive will want Encryption for the data stored on these machines. My plan is to do manual partitioning, but I think that a this issues MUST be resolved for the standard Ubuntu install. As a final note, I have an 2009 Intel laptop, with 3Gb of RAM which I use for Art and Music, Krita and Ubuntu Studio. To get the performance out of that, I created a separate 32Gb SWAP partition on the SSD. The speed of the SSD, when used unencrypted is fast enough to make the machine quite capable of handling hi resolution large scale images that can be as much as 16Gb. Swap is still an incredibly powerful and valuable aspect of a Linux system, made more so because of the ever increasing performance of SSD Drives.
