What i find annoying is that no Linux distro comes with sane settings by default, you always have to tweak it until it works properly. It took me a few months to get Xubuntu figured out(and few years to properly customize): it involved lots of google searching and that is most pleasant expirience of them all(other distros can't hold a candle to Ubuntu quality). Its as if distro developers never used their own product(i suspect they run it through some VM on a Mac). Here are major things I had to do: 1.Make /tmp load in ram via tmpfs (much faster) 2.Disable swap entirely, convert it to a file partition.(swap is slow ugly cludge that is useless with 8GB ram). 3.Disable hibernate and suspend. (i don't want it to write to SSD). 4.Remove several CPU hungry services that serve zero purpose such as tumbler, whoopsie,browsed,update-notifier. 5.Fix the window manager to disable several annoying quirks: such as entering zoom mode ocassionally. The overall feeling is that Linux distros are packed with rarely used features turned on, and needed things requiring installing (like e.g. paprefs(pulseaudio)). The difference between what i have now and default setup is growing more distant every day as i fix and customize more stuff. This also ensures I will stay on Ubuntu 16.04 for the foreseeable future as i don't want to repeat similar "customization/usability" work i've done on one machine again.
