Re: Why is my laptop being so slow

Because you're doing it wrong…
Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 (read that sticky)

Try to quantify "too slow" (symptoms, ideally some metric that ends in "Hz") and in doubt post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999

But w/o knowing what "too slow" really is that might be completely useless.
