   Even with a fresh install my computer isn't as snappy as I'd like. Granted, it is a 2011 Macbook Air, so not the fastest stick in the box no matter what. But waiting for computers to do stuff makes me cranky. Might be time to hone my i3 wm skills and skip the graphical UI altogether.

      @cameron If it's an older device, try to remove all the dust inside (if it haven't been done already), check the cpu paste and max out the ram. Sometime these things help a lot. Otherwise using a lightweight distro is a good idea (there is a recent Bunsenlabs openbox release based on debian with live usb to check how it runs. I personally like LXDE too, but there are many lightweight distros). https://thishosting.rocks/best-lightweight-linux-distros/
