HP Pavilion DV6 Laptop - does it hate Linux?

[Nio Wiklund]

Hi amjjawad,

Can you see any difference between different versions: 12.04, 12.10,
13.04? I have a newer i5 cpu, and I see very little difference between
Lubuntu and Ubuntu speed, like you do. However, I do no not notice any
bad performance or overheating. Maybe the cooperation between the
graphics driver and chip(s) is the main problem for you.

Which processes are the main users of CPU in Lubuntu and Windows?

Best regards
Nio
