Swapping in a SSD two years ago improved the performance back then to what one would expect but lately it spent hours with 100% usage of one of the cores in the Windows Update service with the only result of drowning the battery. I spent countless futile hours trying to reset that service and entering magic commands found in the Windows Support Centre and other semi respectable forums on the internet only to find out hours later that nothing had changed.</p> <p>All in all, even though some functionality would not be available under GNU/Linux, there was no other way forward than to migrate it.</p> <img alt="Ubuntu Gnome" class="align-center" src="https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/images/ubuntu-gnome.jpg" style="width: 150px;"> <p><a href="https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/de/posts/linux/migrating-a-laptop-from-windows-to-ubuntu.html?pk_campaign=feed">Weiterlesen…</a> (5 min verbleiben zum Lesen)</p></div>https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/de/posts/linux/migrating-a-laptop-from-windows-to-ubuntu.htmlSat, 20 May 2017 13:53:30 GMT
