Ok, Linux Gurus...this one's for you.
I don't use Linux as often as I should. Primarily because my Linux machine is slow. I "grew up" on Windows, but I'm wanting to expand my technical knowledge into Linux.
Anyway, I have an Ubuntu machine that I built several years ago. I'm running an AMD Processor with a FoxConn mother board and 2 GB or so of RAM. I forget the exact clock speed of my processor, though. I'll have to check.
But I'm rambling.
Is there anything I can do (aside from a hardware upgrade) to speed things up? I think there's a slight problem with the install, because at one point it was running faster. I'm running either 15.10 or 16.04. I'd have to check for sure (not in front of it right now).
Also, I'm getting a repository error (which I'll post when I'm in front of the machine) that tells me to run a sudo command to fix it. I run the command, and it still isn't fixed.
I don't want to "start over" and wipe the drive. That would take a LONG time, and I'd have to re-install a whole bunch of stuff.
Also, I'm having a heck of a time setting up remote access to my Linux machine from my Windows 10 machine. I used to be able to do that, but I can't any more.
Ideas?
