Dhruv Agreed. But this worked for me. Instead of using Ubuntu desktop iso , I first used Ubuntu server iso then using taskel downloaded desktop environment. I don't know the reason why this give a bit stable system.

Also, Ubuntu with gnome desktop environment requires lot of resources. Instead try some other distro.
Look at CLEARLINUX . Design by intel for intel.

I remember reading a review recently that performance is good on amd chipsets too. Made clearlinux USB to test. However, issues booting with usb. So tried different distros. Namib looks promising (built on arch- although easier to install and configure than arch pure)

yeah, ubuntu certainly takes more resources than I had thought. I don't think ClearLinux is general-purpose distribution, It's more suitable for cloud.

If I remember they are not wording it for cloud only . In case, you are installing os , let us know your experience

I won't be changing distro right now for main system, but I am thinking about trying manjaro on USB stick.
Maybe will try ClearLinux also. will share my experience with it, if I do so.
