Ubuntu Linux lagging? Try my 10 go-to tricks to speed it up

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-04 17:44:09

Yuichiro Chino/Getty Unless you're using a computer from the '90s or early 2000s, typically speaking, Ubuntu runs very well on most machines. I've found it to be fairly predictable in that respect. However, nothing is perfect, and you might run into an instance where the open-source operating system doesn't perform up to your standards. So, what do you do?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-04 16:58:04

techcrunch.com Amanda Silberling 2026-02-04 17:13:18

Skechers introduced a line of kids’ sneakers that contain a hidden compartment where parents can slip in an Apple AirTag. Inside the heel of the shoe, a small insert can be lifted to reveal the compartment. Then, parents can track the location of their child — or, at least their child’s shoes. These shoes don’t come with an AirTag, and they don’t appear to be an actual collaboration with Apple, but rather, a third-party product that Skechers has developed on its own.
