Hi everyone,
I have recently switched to Linux from Windows and very quickly fell in love with the simplicity and all the possibilities. I tried Linux Mint first but quickly turned my eye on Kubuntu as I like the layout out of the box and the KDE environment. I am really new to all of it so still trying to learn the bash and everything else this distro has to offer(but also just have to realize I am a total newbie at this). I noticed one thing when testing through Mint and then Kubuntu and that is the load times on various programs/applications. In Mint they were quick and ready in a flash. In Kubuntu they are slower. E.g. Thunderbird and Firefox take a good 3-5 seconds to load. And I tried to read around to figure out if this was really the way it was supposed to be. Can anyone tell me if this is normal for Kubuntu or if I need to do some tweaking (tried to look at swappiness a bit without getting wiser for instance)?
Any help or explanation is appreciated
