Speeding properly Ubuntu 14.04

Question

Could you tell me if there is some steps to take to make ubuntu 14.04 faster?

Answer 1

There are a few ways you can try to speed it up. The one I would most recommend is to replace the Unity environment with GNOME. To do this:

1. Install MATE desktop by running this in Terminal: sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment.
2. Once it's done installing, log out. There should now be a gear icon in the top right corner of the password area.
3. Click this gear and select the MATE desktop environment before logging in.
