How can I make Ubuntu faster?

Question

I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu.

Nowadays Windows is way faster than Ubuntu (but I still love Linux!)

I checked System Processes and I found that it is GNOME-SOFTWARE using all my resources. Gnome-software is checking for updates all time. I hate snaps because they are container based. My cursor theme changes when I hover it into my snap app. So Do you have any recommendations for making ubuntu faster.(less ram usage?)

Note:I am new to stackoverflow. This is my first question so please forgive me for any misakes.

You can remove snap altogether https://askubuntu.com/q/1035915/124466 , and install gnome-software with sudo apt install gnome-software (instead of snap store). Also consider switching to Xubuntu. It consumes significantly less resources. — Archisman Panigrahi, Apr 03 '22 at 09:50

Agreed about Gnome. Try Kubuntu (KDE instead of Gnome)

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-full

For more background about installing Kubuntu, changing between Gnome and KDE sessions, and removing Kubuntu see this page of the Ubuntu help.

KDE isn't exactly super light on resources either... – Artur Meinild Apr 04 '22 at 10:08
