Extremely Slow Linux on SSD
by loftus49 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D1GW)
I'm using a HP Pavilion Game Laptop (15-ec0xxx)with 16GB RAM, 64 Bit, AMD Ryzen 5 35504 Processor with Radeo Vega and two SSD drives. The first drive is 256GB and runs Windows. The second SSD drive is 1TB and is where Ubuntu (tried both 20.04 and 20.10) is installed.
Running Ubuntu from this drive is Extremely slow (e.g. 2-5 seconds to react to a keystroke or mouse click). Even during installation (via a bootable USB thumb drive) it is slow.
Tried 2 different Ubuntu distros, problem is likely with the drive - but it works fine (and fast) with Windows.
Using /, /boot, /home partitions. / and /home are Ext 4 and logical, /boot is Ext 2 and Primary.
Suggestions?
