Performance-problems with arch linux

Hi,

I build a new pc and installed arch linux on it. Unfortunately the system is actually slow (compared  to my laptop) although it should be very fast. I think it has something to do with the ssd in the pc (a Samsung 850 pro), because mainly the programmes are starting slowly. With Windows 10 the programmes are starting very fast compared to my laptop.
Another problem is that I can't start LibreOffice. This error message appears when I open it:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::DeploymentException' 
Application Error

The problems aren't arch-specific. I have them also with fedora.
EDIT: with Ubuntu the performance-problems are much more worse.
Thank you.

I'm afraid we'll need more details to help you. How did you install, format your partitions etc.?

Re: Performance-problems with arch linux

I am using a Samsung EVO 850 SSD in my Arch system:

empty@Arch ~ % sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda                                                                                                  

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 1556 MB in  3.00 seconds = 518.44 MB/sec

Performance is startling.

Have you disabled "Fast Startup" in Windows?

Yes, of course.

Re: Performance-problems with arch linux

Another problem is that I can't start LibreOffice. This error message appears when I open it:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::DeploymentException' 
Application Error

For this problem, see this topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=206869

Re: Performance-problems with arch linux

the programmes are starting slowly.

What applications start slowly? How long does an application take to start (in seconds)?

Thank you. This solved my problem with libreoffice. The gtk2 package was missing.

The applications start in 3-4 seconds. So that is not that slow, but on my laptop they start immediately and the hardware on my desktop pc is much more better.
