How in the world 8GB RAM in a Thinkpad is not enough for proper operating system? On my x230 with 8GB I am successfully running Ubuntu Mate. I've spent couple days doing dev on it (usual LAMP/LEMP web stack + Sublime + browsers) and I was perfectly happy with that. Even my full time, desktop machine have 8GB RAM (but better CPU than thinkpad) and runs Ubuntu 16.10

- hollander 10y agoI use Ubuntu 16.10 on a 2011/2012 i3 desktop, which was average by then, not top of the bill. To me it seems like 16.04 is a lot slower than 14.04, and I regret upgrading. Same with a Lenovo Flex laptop - it has only 2GB RAM. Since 16.04 it has performance problems. Running Firefox with Javascript is too much, or two apps at the same time grinds it to a halt.
