So I decided to go ahead and install ubuntu after using it for an assignment I had to do for a class--virtualmachine. I finished the install and after a couple hours and installing some apps--Discord, Google Chrome--I noticed that it seems to run a bit more sluggish (opening apps, discord text channels scrolling slowly, and discord server list scrolling slowly). Also an application froze to where I had to make a kill command to terminate it, and in general the file management app feels slower as opposed to when I used windows 10 file explorer. Even just now looking up the specs for my laptop in settings it took a 2 second pause before it would load the "About" tab. A problem I'm trying to solve right now is Google Chrome consistently crashing, like as in I can't use the browser for longer than 3 minutes--if even that.
Is there some quirks or modifications I have to make for Linux to be great? Any suggestions? I really like the OS overall and installing things seem so hassle free it's what made me like it so much.
